• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_OBJ_STRUCT_UTIL002 - You can only add components to object family &1 on level one ?

  The SAP error message COM_OBJ_STRUCT_UTIL002 indicates that you are trying to add components to an object family at a level other than the first level. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Classification and Object Management functionalities, particularly when dealing with object families in the context of the SAP Classification System.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to add components to an object family that is not at the first level of the hierarchy. In SAP, object families are structured hierarchically, and components can only be added to the top level (level one) of an object family. If you try to add components to a sub-level (level two or deeper), the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are adding components to the correct level of the object family. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Object Family Structure: Review the structure of the object family you are working with. Ensure that you are at the first level of the hierarchy when attempting to add components.
  
  
  Navigate to Level One: If you are currently at a sub-level, navigate back to the first level of the object family. You can do this by selecting the top-level object family in the hierarchy.
  
  
  Add Components: Once you are at the first level, you should be able to add components without encountering the error.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the structure of object families or how to manage them, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to Object Management and Classification.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Object Families: In SAP, object families are used to group related objects together. They can have a hierarchical structure, and components can be added to the top level.
  Classification System: The SAP Classification System allows for the categorization of materials, equipment, and other objects, enabling better management and reporting.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to manage classifications and object families effectively.
