FMHIE425 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMHIE - Budget Hierarchies

• Message number: 425

• Message text: Inconsistent hierarchy data: duplicate multi-level nodes for ID &1

What causes this issue?

The multi-level budget structure contains the budget address &V2&&V3&
(hierarchical part) or multi-level nodes with the identifier &V4&
several times for hierarchy ID &V1&.

System Response

The multi-level budget structure cannot be processed for hierarchy ID
&V1&.

How to fix this error?

Remove all redundant occurrences of the budget address &V2&&V3& or of
multi-level nodes with the identifier &V4& from the multi-level budget
structure.

FMHIE425 - Details

• The SAP error message FMHIE425 indicates that there is inconsistent hierarchy data due to the presence of duplicate multi-level nodes for a specific ID in the hierarchy structure. This typically occurs in the context of hierarchical data structures, such as those used in Financial Management (FM) or other modules that utilize hierarchical representations of data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Nodes: The error arises when the same node (or ID) appears multiple times at different levels in the hierarchy, which violates the uniqueness constraint of hierarchical structures.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors or incorrect data imports can lead to the creation of duplicate nodes.
  Hierarchy Changes: Changes made to the hierarchy structure, such as moving nodes or merging hierarchies, can inadvertently create duplicates.
  Inconsistent Data Sources: If the hierarchy is built from multiple data sources, inconsistencies can arise if the same ID is defined differently across those sources.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like FMHIER or relevant
