    Account assignment &V1& goes against the definition rule for posting
    addresses that was defined in transaction Create/Assign Subhierarchy_ID
    (FMHIE_HIEID). You have defined the following posting address rule:
    "Only Account Assignments at End Node Level in the BS are Valid Posting
    Addresses" but posting address &v1&, that is in the posting address list
    or contains actual postings, is not an end node in the hierarchy.

    Processing is terminated.

    How to fix this error?

    You can correct the error in one of the following ways:
    Change the definition rule for postings addresses in transaction
    Create/Assign Subhierarchy_(FMHIE_HIEID) to "All Account Assignments in
    the Hierarchy are Valid Posting Addresses" or "Posting Addresses are
    Hierarchy-Independent".
    Change the hierarchy using transaction
    <DS:TRAS.FMHIE_CHANGE>FMHIE_CHANGE</> so that account assignment &V1& is
    an end node.
    Set this message to a warning, information, or ignore if you want to
    override this message in Customzing under <LS>Funds Management
    Government -> Basic Settings -> Change Message Control</>. However, when
    doing this, note that overriding the message can cause inconsistencies
    to occur in the multi-level budget structure.
