• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINCS_DATA_MIGRATION035 - Client &2: Hierarchy &1 is not activated. ?

  The SAP error message FINCS_DATA_MIGRATION035 indicates that a specific hierarchy (identified by &1) is not activated for the client (identified by &2) you are working with. This error typically arises during data migration processes, particularly in the context of Financial Accounting or Controlling modules.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Not Activated: The primary cause of this error is that the specified hierarchy has not been activated in the SAP system for the given client. Hierarchies are essential for organizing and structuring data, and if they are not activated, the system cannot process related transactions or data migrations.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system where the hierarchy settings have not been properly defined or activated.
  Client-Specific Settings: The hierarchy might be set up in a different client or not set up at all in the current client.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction code (e.g., OBH1 for activating hierarchies in Financial Accounting).
  Check if the hierarchy identified by &1 is listed and ensure it is activated for the client &2.
  If it is not activated, activate it and save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the hierarchy in the SAP system. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly defined.
  If you are unsure about the configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or Financial module consultant.
  
  
  
  Client-Specific Checks:
  
  Verify that you are working in the correct client. If the hierarchy is activated in another client, you may need to replicate the settings to the current client.
  If necessary, transport the hierarchy settings from the development or quality assurance environment to the production environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to the hierarchy you are working with. This can provide additional context and steps for activation.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  OBH1: Hierarchy management for Financial Accounting.
  OBH2: Display hierarchy.
  OBH3: Change hierarchy.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide insights into specific bugs or configuration tips.
  
  
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to activate hierarchies in the system. Lack of permissions can also lead to issues when trying to make changes.
  
  
  Testing: After activating the hierarchy, perform a test to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the data migration process can proceed without issues.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FINCS_DATA_MIGRATION035 error and successfully activate the required hierarchy in your SAP system.
