• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPB_PERSONALIZATION139 - Hierarchy &1 does not return any values ?

  The SAP error message FPB_PERSONALIZATION139 indicates that a hierarchy specified in the system does not return any values. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with SAP Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) or other modules that utilize hierarchies for reporting or data analysis.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Incorrect Hierarchy Definition: The hierarchy may not be defined correctly in the system, or it may not include the expected nodes or values.
  Data Availability: There may be no data available for the specified hierarchy at the time of execution. This could be due to missing data entries or incorrect data loading processes.
  Filters or Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria applied to the hierarchy may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being returned.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data associated with the hierarchy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the hierarchy from functioning as intended.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition:
  
  Verify that the hierarchy is correctly defined in the system. Ensure that all necessary nodes and values are included.
  Use transaction codes like RSH1 (for InfoObjects) or RSH2 (for hierarchies) to check the hierarchy structure.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Availability:
  
  Check if there is data available for the hierarchy. You can do this by running reports or queries that utilize the hierarchy to see if any data is returned.
  Ensure that the data loading processes (e.g., ETL processes) have been executed successfully and that data is present in the relevant tables.
  
  
  
  Review Filters and Selection Criteria:
  
  Examine any filters or selection criteria applied to the hierarchy. Adjust them if they are too restrictive.
  Test the hierarchy without filters to see if it returns any values.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user encountering the error has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy and its associated data.
  Review the authorization roles assigned to the user and make adjustments if needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the hierarchy in the relevant module (e.g., SAP BW, SAP BPC).
  Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or checking logs to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.
