• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HROVIS_HIER_BUILDER009 - Customizing not maintained for child of &1 in &2 ?

  The SAP error message HROVIS_HIER_BUILDER009 indicates that there is a problem with the configuration of a hierarchical structure in the SAP system, specifically related to the customizing settings for a child node in a hierarchy. The message typically states that the customizing is not maintained for a child of a specified object (denoted by &1) in a specified hierarchy (denoted by &2).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Customizing Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the necessary customizing entries for the child node are not maintained in the system. This could happen if the hierarchy was not fully configured or if changes were made without updating the corresponding customizing settings.
  
  
  Incorrect Hierarchy Structure: There may be an issue with the hierarchy structure itself, such as a misconfiguration or an incorrect relationship between parent and child nodes.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), some customizing settings may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings: 
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the area where the hierarchy is defined.
  Ensure that the customizing entries for the child node are correctly maintained. This may involve creating or updating entries for the child node in the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchy Structure:
  
  Verify the hierarchy structure to ensure that the relationships between parent and child nodes are correctly defined.
  Check if the child node is correctly assigned to its parent node.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the hierarchy was recently transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary customizing settings were included.
  If any settings are missing, you may need to manually adjust them in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidance on maintaining hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the hierarchy to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (Customizing), OOCU (Maintain Organizational Units), or others specific to your module.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the error message.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the customizing settings, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HROVIS_HIER_BUILDER009 error and ensure that your hierarchy is correctly configured in the SAP system.
