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

  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
