SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GK - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 619

• Message text: The hierarchy name could not be derived for the cons. group hierarchy

What causes this issue?

In the report you used the global hierarchy variable <ZH>
<(>&<)>0FROMTCG</> for one of the following characteristics:
<DS:GLOS.352A9505D3895CD5E10000009B38F974>consolidation group</>,
<DS:GLOS.3528EBD4E8AA5570E10000009B38F983>consolidation unit</>,
<DS:GLOS.3526B7C1AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>partner unit</>. The system
was unable to derive the hierarchy name for this characteristic from
the following characteristics:
<DS:GLOS.3526B7D5AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>dimension</>,
<DS:DE.FC_DDSUMCG>totals consolidation group</>,
<DS:DE.FC_REF_RVERS>reference version</>, <DS:DE.FC_REF_RYEAR>reference
fiscal year</>, and <DS:DE.FC_REF_PERID>reference period</>. (If one of
the reference parameters are not used, the system then tries to derive
the information from the characteristics
<DS:GLOS.3526B7DBAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>version</>,
<DS:GLOS.3526B86EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>fiscal year</> and period.)
This also failed.

System Response

No hierarchy can be displayed.

How to fix this error?

Try to make sure that the values for the characteristics Dimension,
Totals Consolidation Group, (Reference) Version, and (Reference) Fiscal
Year are unambiguous in the report. You can achieve this by defining
the characteristics in the report via the characteristic selection, or
in the layout by creating exactly <ZH>one</> variable for each
characteristic (as the variable for the "from" value).
The value of the reference period is used as the period. If no
reference period was specified, then the highest variable found in the
layout is used. If no period value is found, then the value '016' is
used.

Procedure for System Administrators
