• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDCN121 - Selected node &1 is not an Account Level or it is not last Account Level ?

  The SAP error message IDCN121 indicates that the selected node in a hierarchy is not an account level or it is not the last account level. This error typically occurs in the context of financial reporting or when working with account hierarchies in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Node Selection: The node you are trying to select or work with is not defined as an account level in the hierarchy. In SAP, account hierarchies are structured in levels, and only certain nodes are designated as account levels.
  Hierarchy Structure: The selected node may not be the last level in the hierarchy, which is required for certain operations, such as posting or reporting.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the account hierarchy is configured in the system, leading to nodes being incorrectly classified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Node Type: Check the hierarchy structure to ensure that the selected node is indeed an account level. You can do this by navigating to the hierarchy configuration in SAP and reviewing the properties of the node.
  Select the Correct Node: If the selected node is not an account level, choose a different node that is defined as an account level and is the last level in the hierarchy.
  Hierarchy Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, review and, if necessary, modify the hierarchy configuration to ensure that the account levels are correctly defined. This may involve working with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure and use account hierarchies.
