COMM_HIERARCHY
or similar) and checking if the product's hierarchy is defined.- Create Missing Entries: If the hierarchy entry is missing, you will need to create it. This involves adding the product to the appropriate hierarchy level.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
