Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_FI_HRRP072 - Hierarchy &1 is/are of set type, the Valid From date is ignored. ?

  The SAP error message FINS_FI_HRRP072 indicates that there is an issue related to the hierarchy structure in the context of financial reporting or planning. Specifically, the message states that the hierarchy you are trying to work with is of a "set type," and therefore, the "Valid From" date is being ignored.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Type: The hierarchy you are using is defined as a "set type" hierarchy. In SAP, set type hierarchies do not utilize the "Valid From" date for their nodes. This means that any date-related settings you are trying to apply are not applicable to this type of hierarchy.
  Configuration Issue: There may be a misconfiguration in the hierarchy settings or the way the hierarchy is being used in your financial reporting or planning process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Hierarchy Type: Check the type of hierarchy you are using. If it is indeed a set type hierarchy, you will need to adjust your approach since the "Valid From" date will not be applicable.
  Adjust Configuration: If you need to use date validity for your hierarchy, consider changing the hierarchy type to a "version type" or another type that supports date validity.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on hierarchy types and their characteristics. This can provide insights into how to properly configure and use hierarchies in your specific context.
  Testing: After making any changes, test the hierarchy to ensure that it behaves as expected without generating the error message.
