FMHIE437 - Details

• The SAP error message FMHIE437 indicates that you are trying to delete a multi-level node from a budget structure, which is not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of budget management within SAP's Funds Management (FM) module.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Multi-Level Node: The node you are attempting to delete is a multi-level node, meaning it has child nodes or is part of a hierarchical structure.
  Hierarchy Integrity: SAP enforces integrity rules to maintain the structure of budget hierarchies. Deleting a multi-level node could disrupt this structure, hence the system prevents this action.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Node Structure: Review the budget structure to identify if the node has any child nodes. You can do this by navigating to the budget structure in the SAP GUI and examining the hierarchy.
  
  
  Delete Child Nodes: If the node has child nodes, you will need to delete those child nodes
