• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EAM_TL_API112 - Hierarchy must not contain more than one functional location ?

  The SAP error message CM_EAM_TL_API112 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy of functional locations in the system. Specifically, it means that the hierarchy you are trying to create or modify contains more than one functional location, which is not allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure: The error typically arises when you attempt to create or modify a hierarchy that includes multiple functional locations at the same level. In SAP, a hierarchy should have a single functional location as a parent for each child functional location.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry where multiple functional locations are inadvertently included in a single hierarchy node.
  Configuration Issue: The configuration of the functional location hierarchy may not be set up correctly, leading to this error when trying to save or process the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Hierarchy Structure: Check the hierarchy structure you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that each node in the hierarchy has only one functional location as a parent.
  Correct Data Entry: If you find that multiple functional locations are included, remove the extra functional locations so that only one remains at each level of the hierarchy.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like IL01 (Create Functional Location) or IL02 (Change Functional Location) to review and adjust the functional locations as needed.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for functional locations in the system. Ensure that the hierarchy settings are correctly defined according to your organization's requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing functional location hierarchies.
