• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCLM_LQH040 - Hierarchy &2 contains deleted item &1. Correct it and try again. ?

  The SAP error message FCLM_LQH040 indicates that there is an issue with a hierarchy in the SAP system, specifically that it contains a deleted item. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Financial Closing cockpit or related financial processes where hierarchies are used to organize data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A hierarchy (e.g., a cost center hierarchy, profit center hierarchy, or any other organizational structure) is referencing an item (like a cost center or profit center) that has been marked as deleted in the system.
  The system is trying to process or validate data against this hierarchy, but it cannot find the referenced item because it has been deleted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Hierarchy and Item:
  
  Check the error message for the specific hierarchy (&2) and the deleted item (&1) that is causing the issue.
  Use transaction codes like KSH1 (for cost centers) or KE52 (for profit centers) to view the hierarchy and the items involved.
  
  
  
  Review the Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the hierarchy definition in the relevant transaction (e.g., KSH1 for cost centers).
  Check if the deleted item is still referenced in the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Remove or Update the Deleted Item:
  
  If the deleted item is still part of the hierarchy, you will need to either remove it from the hierarchy or replace it with a valid item.
  If the item should not have been deleted, consider restoring it if possible.
  
  
  
  Revalidate the Hierarchy:
  
  After making the necessary changes, revalidate the hierarchy to ensure that it no longer contains any deleted items.
  You can do this by using the relevant transaction to check the integrity of the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Test the Process Again:
  
  Once the hierarchy is corrected, try to execute the process that triggered the error again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing hierarchies, such as KSH1, KSH2, KE51, KE52, etc.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to hierarchies and items in the system.
