FMHIE434 - Details

• The SAP error message FMHIE434, which states "Deletion not possible for multi-level node," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a node in a hierarchical structure (such as a cost center hierarchy or a project structure) that has child nodes or is part of a multi-level hierarchy. This means that the node you are trying to delete is not a leaf node; it has subordinate nodes that need to be addressed first.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multi-Level Node: The node you are trying to delete has child nodes or is part of a hierarchy that cannot be deleted directly.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent the deletion of nodes that would leave orphaned child nodes or disrupt the hierarchical structure.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Child Nodes: Check the hierarchy to identify any child nodes associated with the node you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating
