SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: KY - Messages for SAP-EIS: Presentation

  • Message number: 432

  • Message text: Report &1 cannot be executed (hierarchy deleted)

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    A hierarchy has been stored in the report definition for characteristic
    &V2&. This hierarchy has, however, been deleted.
    An automatic assignment of another hierarchy was not possible.
    The affected reports are automatically adjusted, as far as is possible,
    with changes. Such a serious change has occurred, however, that it is
    necessary to transfer the report to the report portfolio again.

    System Response

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

    How to fix this error?

    You should delete report &V1&. If you wish to have a report in the
    report portfolio again, which corresponds to the deleted one, transfer
    it again into the report portfolio.
    If this is too much effort, as several reports in the report portfolio
    are affected by the change to the database, it is recommended that you
    undo the changes.
