• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW_REPORTING_FPM026 - No hierarchy assigned ?

  The SAP error message BW_REPORTING_FPM026: No hierarchy assigned typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) reporting, particularly when using the FPM (Floorplan Manager) for reporting applications. This error indicates that a hierarchy has not been assigned to a characteristic or dimension that is expected to have one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Assignment: The characteristic or dimension in your query or report does not have a hierarchy assigned to it. This can happen if the hierarchy was not created or if it was not assigned to the InfoObject.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be designed to use a hierarchy that is not available or not properly configured.
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data model, such as missing or incorrectly configured InfoObjects or InfoProviders.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Assignment:
  
  Go to the SAP BW modeling tools (like RSA1) and check the InfoObject that is being used in the report.
  Ensure that the hierarchy is created and assigned to the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:

  If no hierarchy is needed, you may need to adjust the query to remove the dependency on the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Check the InfoProvider and ensure that the data model is correctly set up.
  Validate that all necessary InfoObjects are active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
