• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HI122 - Hierarchy does not contain entries ?

  The SAP error message HI122, which states "Hierarchy does not contain entries," typically occurs in the context of SAP's hierarchical data structures, such as when working with hierarchies in reporting, planning, or master data management. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any entries in the specified hierarchy.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Hierarchy: The hierarchy you are trying to access does not have any entries or nodes defined.
  Incorrect Hierarchy ID: The hierarchy ID you are using may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the hierarchy entries.
  Data Not Loaded: The data that should populate the hierarchy may not have been loaded or updated in the system.
  Hierarchy Version: You may be trying to access a version of the hierarchy that is not active or does not contain any data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: Verify that the hierarchy is correctly defined and contains entries. You can do this by navigating to the hierarchy management transaction (e.g., transaction code KSH1 for cost center hierarchies) and checking the entries.
  Verify Hierarchy ID: Ensure that you are using the correct hierarchy ID. Double-check the ID against the list of available hierarchies in the system.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  Load Data: If the hierarchy is supposed to have entries but does not, check if the relevant data has been loaded into the system. This may involve running data load jobs or processes.
  Activate Hierarchy Version: If you are using a specific version of the hierarchy, ensure that it is active and contains the necessary data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing hierarchies, such as KSH1, KSH2, or KSH3 for cost center hierarchies, or KAH1, KAH2, KAH3 for account hierarchies.
