• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EU190 - Can only reassign complete sub-trees ?

  The SAP error message EU190: "Can only reassign complete sub-trees" typically occurs in the context of organizational management or when dealing with hierarchical structures in SAP, such as when trying to reassign positions, jobs, or organizational units within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when you attempt to reassign a node (like an organizational unit) that has child nodes (sub-trees) that are not being reassigned together with it. In SAP, when you want to move or reassign a node in a hierarchy, you must ensure that all of its child nodes are included in the reassignment. The system enforces this rule to maintain the integrity of the hierarchical structure.
  Solution:
  To resolve the EU190 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Node: Determine which organizational unit or node you are trying to reassign.
  
  
  Check Child Nodes: Review the child nodes (sub-trees) associated with the node you are trying to move. You can do this by navigating through the organizational structure in the SAP system.
  
  
  Reassign Complete Sub-Tree: When you attempt to reassign the parent node, ensure that you also select all of its child nodes for reassignment. This may involve selecting the entire sub-tree rather than just the parent node.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the reassignment. Common transaction codes for organizational management include:
  
  PPOME: Change Organizational Structure
  PPOC: Create Organizational Unit
  PPOE: Display Organizational Unit
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the reassignment. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the structure or the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
