• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPB_SNI019 - Activate at least one hierarchy in each application ?

  The SAP error message FPB_SNI019 indicates that there is a requirement to activate at least one hierarchy in each application within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) when the system is trying to execute a process that requires a hierarchy to be defined and activated.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the application you are trying to use does not have any hierarchies activated. Hierarchies are essential for organizing data and enabling the system to perform calculations, reporting, and analysis. Without at least one active hierarchy, the application cannot function correctly.
  Solution:
  To resolve the FPB_SNI019 error, you need to ensure that at least one hierarchy is activated for each application. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Application:
  
  Go to the relevant application in SAP BPC or SAP FP&A.
  
  
  
  Check Hierarchies:
  
  Navigate to the hierarchy management section of the application.
  Verify if any hierarchies are defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Activate Hierarchies:
  
  If no hierarchies are activated, you will need to create and activate at least one hierarchy.
  To create a hierarchy, you may need to define the structure (e.g., parent-child relationships) and ensure that it meets the requirements of your planning or reporting needs.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After creating or modifying the hierarchy, make sure to save your changes and activate the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Test the Application:
  
  Once you have activated the hierarchy, try to execute the process again that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Hierarchy Types: Understand the different types of hierarchies that can be created (e.g., account hierarchies, organizational hierarchies) and their relevance to your planning processes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help guides specific to your version of SAP BPC or FP&A for detailed instructions on managing hierarchies.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create and activate hierarchies in the application.
  Support: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FPB_SNI019 error and ensure that your application is set up correctly for planning and analysis activities.
