• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSIB360 - -Participant &1: higher level participant is &1 ?

  The SAP error message CACSIB360 typically occurs in the context of SAP's Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) module. This error indicates that there is a problem with the hierarchy of participants in a commission or incentive calculation.
