SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMHIE_CHGCHK_CUST - Customizable Messages for BCS Hierarchy Change

• Message number: 025

• Message text: Address &1 became a leaf node when its subordinate nodes were moved

&CAUSE
Moving a node from old parent address &V1& may violate Budget Address or
Posting Address definition rules maintained in <LS>Create and Assign
Hierarchy ID</> (transaction FMHIE_HIEID). The Budget Address list or
Posting Address list may become invalid by reason of return code &V2&.
The system recognizes the following return codes for the Budget Address
and Posting Address list checks:
<ZH>Return code 1:</>
BA rule: "All addresses in MBS are valid budget addresses"
PA rule: "All addresses in MBS are valid posting addresses"
No inconsistency for the current Budget Address or Posting Address
lists.
<ZH>Return code 2:</>
BA rule: "All addresses in MBS are valid budget addresses"
PA rule: "Only leaf addresses in MBS are valid posting addresses"
The moving of nodes has no impact on the current Budget Address list.
The moving of nodes results in Posting Address list inconsistency,
because the old parent address &V1& becomes a valid posting address
after the move.
<ZH>Return code 3:</>
BA rule: "All addresses, except leaf addresses are valid budget
addresses"
PA rule: "All addresses in MBS are valid posting addresses"
The moving of nodes results in Budget Address list inconsistency,
because the old parent address &V1& becomes a leaf node after the move.
The parent address &V1& is no longer a valid budget address.
The moving of nodes has no impact on the current Posting Address list.
<ZH>Return code 4:</>
BA rule: "All addresses, except leaf addresses are valid budget
addresses"
PA rule: "Only leaf addresses in MBS are valid posting addresses"
The moving of nodes results in Budget Address list inconsistency,
because the old parent address &V1& becomes a leaf node after the move.
The parent address &V1& is no longer a valid budget address.
The moving of nodes results in Posting Address list inconsistency,
because the old parent address &V1& becomes a valid posting address
after the move.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMHIE_CHGCHK_CUST025 - Address &1 became a leaf node when its subordinate nodes were moved ?

  The SAP error message FMHIE_CHGCHK_CUST025 indicates that an address (in this case, identified as &1) has become a leaf node because its subordinate nodes have been moved. This typically occurs in the context of hierarchical data structures, such as organizational units, cost centers, or other master data that can have a parent-child relationship.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Changes: The error usually arises when there are changes made to the hierarchy of addresses or organizational units. For example, if subordinate nodes (children) of a particular address (parent) are moved to a different parent, the original parent address may no longer have any children, thus becoming a leaf node.
  Data Integrity Issues: This can also happen if there are inconsistencies or integrity issues in the hierarchical data, such as incorrect assignments or deletions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Hierarchical Structure: Check the hierarchical structure of the addresses or organizational units involved. Ensure that the changes made (moving subordinate nodes) are intended and correct.
  Reassign Subordinate Nodes: If the subordinate nodes were moved incorrectly, consider reassigning them back to the original parent address.
  Update Master Data: If the changes are correct, ensure that the master data is updated accordingly to reflect the new structure. This may involve updating related records or configurations.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references that are broken due to the changes. This may involve checking related transactions or configurations in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling hierarchical data and addressing this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OAP1 (for maintaining address data) or KS01 (for creating cost centers) to review and modify the hierarchical structure.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your hierarchical data is correctly structured.
