G00654 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G00 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 654

• Message text: Hierarchy leaf &2 is not a valid value for characteristic &1

What causes this issue?

According to the given hierarchy information, the value &V2& is to be
used as a leaf in the hierarchy. However, for characteristic &V1& there
is no master record with the value &V2&. Therefore, &V2& is not a valid
hierarchy leaf.

System Response

Value &V2& is not included in the hierarchy.

How to fix this error?

Check if the value &V2& indeed is to be used as a leaf, and not a node,
in the hierarchy.
If &V2& is to be used as a leaf, make sure that a corresponding master
record exists for characteristic &V1&, for example, by uploading this
value as a master record.
If &V2& is to be used as a (non-postable) node, make sure that the file
contains information for the lower-level values. Otherwise, the program
interprets the value as a leaf.
