FMHIE022 - Details

• The SAP error message FMHIE022 indicates that a constant element (such as a cost center, internal order, or any other master data element) is already assigned to a different hierarchy ID than the one you are trying to assign it to. This typically occurs in the context of Financial Management (FM) or Controlling (CO) modules when dealing with hierarchies.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The constant element you are trying to assign is already linked to another hierarchy ID. This can happen if the same element is being used in multiple hierarchies, which is not allowed.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect or outdated assignments in the system.
  Configuration Errors: The system configuration may not allow for the desired assignment due to restrictions set in the hierarchy settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments: 
  
  Use transaction codes like KSH1 (for cost centers) or KSH2 to check the current assignments of the constant element.
