• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ141 - Only leaf node can be selected ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ141 with the description "Only leaf node can be selected" typically occurs in the context of project management or financial controlling within SAP. This error indicates that the system is expecting a selection of a "leaf node" in a hierarchical structure, such as a project structure or a cost center hierarchy, but the user has selected a node that has child nodes (i.e., a parent node).
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Structure: The selected node in the project or cost center hierarchy is not a leaf node. A leaf node is a terminal node that does not have any children. If you select a node that has child nodes, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Selection: Users may inadvertently select a parent node instead of a leaf node when trying to perform an action that requires a specific level of granularity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Leaf Node: Ensure that you are selecting a leaf node in the hierarchy. You can navigate through the hierarchy to find a node that does not have any children.
  Review Hierarchy Structure: If you are unsure which nodes are leaf nodes, review the hierarchy structure to identify the correct nodes.
  Check Permissions: In some cases, permissions or settings may restrict access to certain nodes. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the leaf nodes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific transaction or process you are working with.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Training: If this error is common among users, consider providing training on how to navigate the project or cost center hierarchy effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific SAP environment and configuration.
