  The SAP error message MSG_FLEXIBLE_HIER062 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to regenerate a hierarchy for a specific object (denoted by &1 and &2). This error typically occurs in the context of working with flexible hierarchies in SAP, such as in the areas of reporting or data modeling.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The user attempting to regenerate the hierarchy does not have the required permissions to perform this action on the specified hierarchy object.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for hierarchy management.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to hierarchy management, such as S_HIER or other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to regenerate the hierarchy again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  S_HIER: Hierarchy Management
