• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMCDT002 - Hierarchy with ID &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message CMCDT002 indicates that a hierarchy with the specified ID does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost centers, profit centers, or other hierarchical structures.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Hierarchy: The hierarchy ID you are trying to access or use does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the ID or because the hierarchy has not been created yet.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the hierarchy.
  Data Deletion: The hierarchy may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for use.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the system that is preventing the hierarchy from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Hierarchy ID: Double-check the hierarchy ID you are using to ensure it is correct. Look for any typographical errors.
  Check Hierarchy Existence: Use transaction codes like KSH1 (for cost center hierarchy) or KSH2 (for displaying cost center hierarchy) to verify if the hierarchy exists in the system.
  Create Hierarchy: If the hierarchy does not exist, you may need to create it using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., KSH1 for creating a cost center hierarchy).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This may involve checking user roles and permissions.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the hierarchy should exist but is not found, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system issues or data inconsistencies.
  Review Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, review the settings related to the hierarchy in the SAP configuration (SPRO).
