  The SAP error message HROVIS_HIER_BUILDER015: Root object not found typically occurs in the context of the Organizational Management (OM) module when the system is unable to find a specified root object in the hierarchy. This can happen for various reasons, such as missing or incorrectly configured organizational units, positions, or other objects in the hierarchy.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Root Object: The specified root object (e.g., an organizational unit or position) does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The hierarchy may not be correctly configured, leading to the inability to locate the root object.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the root object.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data that prevent the system from recognizing the root object.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Existence of Root Object:
  
  Check if the root object exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., PPOME for organizational management) and searching for the object.

  Ensure that the organizational structure is correctly configured. This includes checking the relationships between objects and ensuring that the hierarchy is properly set up.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:

  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the organizational management data to identify and resolve any inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like OOCU or OOSB.
  
  
  
  Transport Logs:
  
  If the hierarchy was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues with the transport.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Object:
  
  If the root object is missing and cannot be found, you may need to recreate it in the system.
