• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_HIERARCHY028 - Hierarchy/hierarchies added to worklist ?

  The SAP error message COM_HIERARCHY028 indicates that a hierarchy or hierarchies have been added to the worklist for processing. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with hierarchical structures such as cost centers, profit centers, or internal orders.
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message indicating that certain hierarchies have been flagged for review or processing. This can occur due to:
  
  Changes in Hierarchies: If there have been recent changes to the hierarchy structure, such as additions or deletions of nodes, the system may add these to the worklist for further action.
  Data Consistency Checks: The system may have detected inconsistencies or issues that require attention, prompting the addition of hierarchies to the worklist.
  User Actions: A user may have initiated a process that requires the review of specific hierarchies, leading to this message.
  
  Solution:
  To address the message, you can take the following steps:
  
  Review the Worklist: Access the worklist to see which hierarchies have been added. This can typically be done through transaction codes like KSH1 (for cost center hierarchies) or KSH2 (for displaying cost center hierarchies).
  Analyze Changes: Investigate any recent changes made to the hierarchies. Check if the changes are valid and if they align with your organizational structure.
  Perform Necessary Actions: Depending on what you find in the worklist, you may need to:
  
  Approve or reject changes.
  Make additional adjustments to the hierarchy.
  Ensure that all necessary data is consistent and complete.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of the hierarchies in the worklist, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing hierarchies, such as KSH1, KSH2, KSH3, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to hierarchy management in your version of SAP.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to view and modify hierarchies in the system.
  Training: If you are new to managing hierarchies in SAP, consider seeking training or resources to better understand the implications of hierarchy changes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to effectively manage the hierarchies added to the worklist and resolve any underlying issues.
