• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ORB100 - No hierarchy could be determined ?

  The SAP error message ORB100, which states "No hierarchy could be determined," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Analytics when the system is unable to find a valid hierarchy for a characteristic in a query or report. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Hierarchy: The hierarchy for the characteristic in question may not be defined in the InfoObject or may not be activated.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed in such a way that it does not properly reference the hierarchy.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the data itself, such as missing values or incorrect data types that prevent the hierarchy from being recognized.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy.
  Hierarchy Not Loaded: The hierarchy data may not have been loaded into the InfoProvider or may not be up to date.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance and ensure that the hierarchy is defined and activated for the characteristic in question.
  Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly assigned to the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer and check if the characteristic is correctly set to use the hierarchy.
  Ensure that the hierarchy is selected in the properties of the characteristic in the query.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Check the data in the InfoProvider to ensure that it is complete and correctly formatted.
  Run a data consistency check to identify any issues with the data.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Load Hierarchy Data:
  
  If the hierarchy data is missing, ensure that the hierarchy is loaded into the InfoProvider. You may need to run the data load process again.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that the system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs in the software can lead to such errors.
