How To Fix KH456 - You cannot switch hierarchies


KH456 - Overview

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: KH - CO-PA Reporting

  • Message number: 456

  • Message text: You cannot switch hierarchies

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Elimination is active between the characteristics &V1& and &V2&.
    That means that a hierarchy is being used for both &V1& and &V2&.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    However, &V3& has already been fixed through navigation. This also fixed
    the hierarchy.

    How to fix this error?

    Navigate backward to free up &V3&. Then you can switch the hierarchy.
