• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMHIE104 - Superior hierarchy node is postable ?

  The SAP error message FMHIE104, which states "Superior hierarchy node is postable," typically occurs in the context of Funds Management (FM) when you are trying to post a transaction to a hierarchy node that is not allowed due to the settings of the superior node.
  Cause:
  
  Postable Node: The error indicates that the superior hierarchy node (the parent node in the hierarchy) is set as postable, which means it can accept postings. However, the node you are trying to post to may not be configured correctly or may not allow postings.
  Hierarchy Configuration: The configuration of the hierarchy may not allow postings at certain levels, or the node you are trying to post to may be set as a summary node, which typically does not allow direct postings.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the posting to the specific node.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Review the configuration of the hierarchy in the Funds Management module. Ensure that the node you are trying to post to is set up correctly and is allowed to accept postings.
  
  Use transaction code FMH1 to check the hierarchy settings.
  Ensure that the node is not set as a summary node if you intend to post directly to it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Node Settings: If the node is incorrectly configured, you may need to adjust its settings to allow postings. This may involve changing the node type or its properties in the hierarchy.
  
  
  Review Posting Logic: Ensure that you are posting to the correct node. If you are trying to post to a summary node, consider posting to a lower-level node that is configured to accept postings.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to post to the node. If you lack the required permissions, contact your system administrator to grant the necessary access.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FMH1 (Hierarchy Maintenance) and FMAVCR01 (Display Actual/Commitment/Plan).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to Funds Management and hierarchy postings that may provide additional insights or solutions.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation on Funds Management hierarchy configuration to better understand how to set up and manage nodes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FMHIE104 error and successfully post to the desired hierarchy node.
