  The SAP error message COPC_RPR_UI014 indicates that there is an issue with the organizational structure in the context of a report or transaction. Specifically, the error states that the organizational unit specified (denoted as &1) is not a subnode of another organizational unit (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS) modules, where organizational units are hierarchically structured.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Hierarchical Structure: The organizational unit you are trying to use (e.g., a cost center, profit center, or project) is not correctly positioned within the organizational hierarchy. This means that the system does not recognize it as a subordinate unit of the specified parent unit.
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in entering the organizational units in the transaction or report, leading to a mismatch.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The organizational structure may not be properly configured in the system, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access certain organizational units, which can lead to confusion about their hierarchical relationships.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Organizational Structure: Check the organizational structure in the SAP system to ensure that the unit you are trying to use is indeed a subnode of the specified parent unit. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., using transaction codes like OX02 for cost centers).
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that you are entering the correct organizational units in the transaction or report. Double-check the values for accuracy.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access, review the configuration of the organizational units in the system. Ensure that they are set up correctly in the hierarchy.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team. They can help verify the configuration and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the organizational units in question. If not, contact your system administrator to request the appropriate access.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing organizational units, such as OX02 (for cost centers) or OX03 (for profit centers).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on organizational structures and their configurations.
  User Forums and SAP Notes: Check SAP Community forums or SAP Notes for similar issues and solutions provided by other users or SAP support.
