  The SAP error message FMHIE_CHGCHK_CUST006 typically occurs in the context of address management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with hierarchical structures such as organizational units or business partners. This message indicates that when you attempt to change the address of a particular entity (like a customer or vendor), the system is warning you that any subordinates (children) of that entity will also be affected by this change.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to change the address of a parent entity that has subordinate entities linked to it.
  The system is designed to ensure that any changes to the address of a parent entity will also apply to its subordinates, which may not be the intended action for the user.
  
  Solution:

  Review the Hierarchy: Check the hierarchy of the entity you are trying to modify. Identify the subordinates that will be affected by the address change.
  
  
  Decide on Address Change: Determine if you want to change the address for the parent entity only or if you also want to propagate the change to the subordinates. If you only want to change the parent’s address, you may need to temporarily detach the subordinates or change their addresses individually.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the address change. Sometimes, using a specific transaction designed for hierarchical changes can help manage these updates more effectively.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to address management and hierarchical structures to understand the implications of changing addresses in your specific context.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP experts who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and requirements.
