K0162 - Details

• The SAP error message K0162, which states "Standard hierarchy does not contain node &," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to access a cost center or internal order that is not part of the standard hierarchy defined in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to post costs, create reports, or perform other operations that require a valid node in the standard hierarchy.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Node: The node (cost center, internal order, etc.) you are trying to access is not defined in the standard hierarchy.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Assignment: The node may exist but is not assigned correctly in the standard hierarchy.
  Hierarchy Not Activated: The standard hierarchy may not be activated or may have been changed, leading to the node being unavailable.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or hierarchy structure.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Standard Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the transaction
