How To Fix KD076 - Only hierarchy numbers between & and & are possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 076

• Message text: Only hierarchy numbers between & and & are possible

What causes this issue?

The hierarchy number of the object just processed is in conflict with
those for the relevant sender or receiver. Each sender must have a
higher number, and each receiver a lower number, than the current
object.

System Response

This message is only a warning. You can save your objects anyway,
without amending the hierarchy numbers. However, it may then be the
case that not all objects are settled to zero in one run. You would
then have to start settlement more than once.

How to fix this error?

Enter a hierarchy number for object just processed, which is more than
&V1& and less than &V2&, or amend the hierarchy numbers for the senders
or receivers.
Use the "Settlement hierarchy" function key to display an overview of
the settlement hierarchy.
