GL434 - Details

• The SAP error message GL434, which states "Rules are not allowed in hierarchical summarization," typically occurs in the context of financial reporting or when working with the General Ledger (GL) in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way the summarization rules are defined in a hierarchical structure, which is not permitted in certain scenarios.
  
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Structure: The error arises when you attempt to use summarization rules that are not compatible with the hierarchical structure of the report or the data being processed.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings for the financial statement version or the report layout that does not allow for rules to be applied in a hierarchical manner.
  Incompatible Settings: The settings for the report may be set to use a hierarchical summarization, but the rules defined do not support this structure.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Report Configuration: Check the configuration of the financial statement version
