  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDPDAHHM017 Operation possible only in status 'Active' (CO hierarchy generation) typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation related to a CO (Controlling) hierarchy that is not in the 'Active' status. This can happen during processes such as generating or modifying a CO hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Status: The CO hierarchy you are trying to work with is not in the 'Active' status. It may be in a 'Draft', 'Inactive', or 'Locked' status.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to perform operations on the hierarchy.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that restrict operations on certain hierarchies based on their status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Status:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., KSH1 for creating a CO hierarchy or KSH2 for changing it).
  Verify the status of the hierarchy you are trying to work with. If it is not 'Active', you will need to activate it.
  
  
  
  Activate the Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is in a 'Draft' or 'Inactive' status, you can activate it by selecting the appropriate option in the transaction.
  Ensure that all necessary data is complete and correct before activating.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Check your user authorizations to ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform the operation on the CO hierarchy.
  If you lack the required authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to CO hierarchies for any specific requirements or steps that may be necessary for your particular scenario.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that the hierarchy is not locked by another user or process. If it is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSH1, KSH2, and KSH3 for creating, changing, and displaying CO hierarchies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
