• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J5223 - No portfolio hierarchy exists for view & ?

  The SAP error message J5223, which states "No portfolio hierarchy exists for view &," typically occurs in the context of SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) when a user attempts to access or manipulate a portfolio view that does not have an associated hierarchy defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the portfolio hierarchy has not been defined for the specific view you are trying to access. This can happen if the hierarchy was never created or if it was deleted or not properly configured.
  Incorrect View Configuration: The view you are trying to access may not be correctly set up to reference an existing portfolio hierarchy.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the hierarchy, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Portfolio Hierarchy:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., transaction code CJH1 for creating or maintaining portfolio hierarchies).
  Verify if the portfolio hierarchy exists for the specific view you are trying to access. If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is missing, create a new portfolio hierarchy that corresponds to the view. Ensure that all necessary nodes and relationships are defined.
  If the hierarchy exists but is not linked to the view, you may need to adjust the configuration to associate the hierarchy with the view.
  
  
  
  Check View Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the view you are trying to access is correctly configured to reference the appropriate portfolio hierarchy. This may involve checking settings in the view configuration.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the portfolio hierarchy. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing portfolio hierarchies and views in your version of SAP.
