• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_REPORT_TEMPLATE167 - Parameter hierarchy &3 was opened for another object (&4) ?

  The SAP error message CM_REPORT_TEMPLATE167 indicates that a parameter hierarchy (identified by &3) is currently being used or opened for another object (identified by &4). This typically occurs in the context of reporting or analysis where multiple users or processes are trying to access the same hierarchy simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that the parameter hierarchy is already in use by another user or process. SAP does not allow multiple instances of the same hierarchy to be opened at the same time to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, a previous session may not have been closed properly, leaving the hierarchy in a locked state.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that restrict access to certain hierarchies based on user roles or permissions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if another user or session is currently using the hierarchy. If possible, ask them to close their session or release
