  The SAP error message COM_HIERARCHY019 indicates that a standard scheme (or standard hierarchy) specified in your transaction or configuration does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or Product Costing modules, where standard hierarchies are used to organize cost centers, profit centers, or other organizational units.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Standard Scheme: The standard scheme referenced in your transaction does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the scheme name or the scheme not being created yet.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings may not have been properly set up, leading to the system not recognizing the standard scheme.
  Transport Issues: If the standard scheme was recently transported from another system, it may not have been successfully imported or activated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the standard scheme.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Standard Scheme: Verify that the standard scheme you are trying to use actually exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Master Data ? Standard Hierarchy.
  Check if the standard scheme is listed there.
  
  
  
  Create the Standard Scheme: If the standard scheme does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in the same configuration area mentioned above.
  
  
  Correct the Input: If there is a typo or incorrect reference in your transaction, correct it to point to the right standard scheme.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the standard scheme was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the standard scheme. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the standard scheme's purpose or how to create it, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
