• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AP232 - Position &1 is not an end-node position ?

  The SAP error message AP232 "Position &1 is not an end-node position" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Project System (PS) or when dealing with hierarchical structures such as work breakdown structures (WBS) or network activities. This error indicates that the specified position (in this case, &1) is not a terminal or end-node in the hierarchy, meaning that it has child nodes or further subdivisions.
  Cause:
  
  Non-End Node: The position you are trying to work with (e.g., a WBS element or network activity) is not a leaf node; it has child elements or further subdivisions.
  Incorrect Hierarchical Structure: The structure may not be set up correctly, leading to confusion about which nodes are end nodes.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error in data entry or selection, where a non-terminal node was selected for an operation that requires an end node.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Hierarchy: Review the hierarchy of the WBS or network to confirm whether the position you are trying to use is indeed an end node. You can do this by navigating through the project structure in the SAP GUI.
  Select an End Node: If your operation requires an end node, ensure that you select a position that does not have any child nodes. You may need to navigate to a different part of the hierarchy.
  Adjust the Structure: If you need to perform an operation on the current position, consider restructuring the hierarchy if appropriate. This may involve closing or deleting child nodes if they are no longer needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the operation you are trying to perform and the requirements for end-node positions.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the project structure, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
