K0165 - Details

• The SAP error message K0165 typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when working with standard hierarchies in cost centers or internal orders. The message indicates that there is an issue with the standard hierarchy, specifically that it contains an interval that is not valid or is incorrectly defined.
  
  Cause:
  The error message K0165 is triggered when:
  
  The standard hierarchy is not properly defined, meaning that there are gaps or overlaps in the intervals defined for the nodes.
  The intervals for the nodes in the hierarchy do not match the expected format or range.
  There may be a missing node or an incorrectly assigned node in the hierarchy.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K0165 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Standard Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the transaction code OKT2 (for cost centers) or OKT3 (for internal orders) to display the standard hierarchy.
  Review the structure of the hierarchy to ensure that all nodes are correctly defined and that
