• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMMD054 - You are not copying from a planned hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message CMMD054, which states "You are not copying from a planned hierarchy," typically occurs in the context of planning functions within SAP, particularly when working with planning hierarchies in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation). This error indicates that the system expects a planned hierarchy to be used for the operation you are attempting, but it is not finding one.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Hierarchy Selection: The hierarchy you are trying to use for your planning operation is not set as a planned hierarchy in the system.
  Missing Hierarchy Assignment: The hierarchy you are trying to copy from may not be assigned correctly in the planning function or may not be defined as a planned hierarchy in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the planning area or the planning function that prevent the use of the planned hierarchy.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which you are trying to copy may not be compatible with the planned hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Settings: Ensure that the hierarchy you are trying to use is defined as a planned hierarchy in the system. You can do this by checking the hierarchy settings in the SAP BW or BPC configuration.
  Review Planning Function: Verify the planning function you are using to ensure it is set up to use a planned hierarchy. Check the settings and parameters to ensure they are correctly configured.
  Assign Hierarchy: If the hierarchy is not assigned, you may need to assign it to the planning area or the planning function you are using.
  Use Correct Data Source: Make sure that the data source you are using is compatible with the planned hierarchy. If necessary, switch to a different data source that is compatible.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring planned hierarchies and planning functions.
