• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCLM_LQH035 - You cannot add sibling node for the root node ?

  The SAP error message FCLM_LQH035 ("You cannot add sibling node for the root node") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Financial Closing cockpit or related applications where hierarchical structures (like trees) are being manipulated. This error indicates that there is an attempt to add a sibling node to the root node of a hierarchy, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure Violation: The root node in a hierarchy can only have child nodes. Attempting to add a sibling node (a node at the same level as the root) violates the structural rules of the hierarchy.
  Incorrect User Action: The user may have inadvertently tried to add a node in the wrong context or level within the hierarchy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the hierarchy in the system that prevent proper node addition.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Structure: Ensure that you are trying to add the node as a child of the root node rather than as a sibling. The correct action would be to add the node under the root node.
  Review User Actions: If you are using a user interface, double-check the steps you are taking to add the node. Make sure you are selecting the correct parent node before attempting to add a new node.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly manage hierarchy nodes.
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings related to the hierarchy in your SAP system. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
