• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KW802 - You can no longer change standard hierarchy & for CO area &. ?

  The SAP error message KW802 indicates that you are trying to make changes to a standard hierarchy in a controlling (CO) area that is no longer modifiable. This typically occurs when the standard hierarchy has been locked for changes due to various reasons, such as the fiscal year being closed or the hierarchy being set to a status that prevents modifications.
