• Message text: Acct assgnmt &1 is no longer a leaf node after moving subnode

What causes this issue?

Moving a node to under a new higher-level account assignment can go
against the definition rule for posting addresses that was defined for
transaction <LS>Create/Assign Subhierarchy_ID</> (FMHIE_HIEID).
Here you defined the following rule "Only Account Assignments at End
Node Level in the Multi-Level BS are valid Posting Addresses?. Due to
the move, the new higher-level account assignment &V1& is no longer an
end node in the multi-level budget structure and as such is no longer a
valid posting address.

System Response

Processing is terminated.

How to fix this error?

You can correct the error in one of the following ways:
Delete posting address &v1& in transaction <DS:TRAS.FMBSBO>FMBSBO</> .
Change the definition rule for postings addresses in transaction
<LS>Create/Assign Subhierarchy_ID </>(FMHIE_HIEID) from "Only Account
Assignments at End Node Level in the Multi-Level BS are Valid Posting
Addresses" to "All Account Assignments in the Multi-Level BS are Valid
Posting Addresses" or ?Posting Addresses are Hierarchy-Independent".
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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICUSTOM276 - Acct assgnmt &1 is no longer a leaf node after moving subnode ?

  The SAP error message FICUSTOM276 indicates that there is an issue with account assignment in the context of a hierarchy structure, typically related to cost centers, internal orders, or other organizational units. The message states that the account assignment (e.g., a cost center or internal order) is no longer a "leaf node" after moving a subnode, which means that the account assignment is expected to be a terminal node in the hierarchy but is not due to the changes made.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Changes: The error usually occurs when a node (subnode) is moved within a hierarchy, and the system expects the account assignment to be a leaf node (i.e., it should not have any child nodes). If the account assignment has been moved and now has child nodes, it will trigger this error.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the hierarchy structure, such as incorrect assignments or relationships between nodes.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the hierarchy might not align with the current structure of the nodes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Structure: Review the hierarchy structure to ensure that the account assignment is correctly positioned as a leaf node. If it has child nodes, consider whether it should be a parent node instead.
  Revert Changes: If the recent changes to the hierarchy caused the issue, consider reverting those changes to restore the previous structure.
  Adjust Node Assignments: If the account assignment should indeed have child nodes, you may need to adjust the assignments or reconfigure the hierarchy to reflect the correct relationships.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like OKEQ for cost center hierarchy) to view and modify the hierarchy structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing hierarchies and account assignments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to hierarchy management, such as OKEB (for cost center planning) or OKEQ (for cost center hierarchy).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the hierarchy structure.
  Testing Changes: Always test changes in a development or quality assurance environment before applying them to production to avoid disruptions.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
