• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BCA_MSG002 - Transferred object &1 is not child of &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BCA_MSG002 Transferred object &1 is not child of &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project Management or Project System modules, particularly when dealing with hierarchical structures such as Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) or project elements.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the hierarchical relationship between two objects in the system. Specifically, it suggests that the object identified by &1 (the transferred object) is expected to be a child of the object identified by &2, but it is not. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Hierarchical Structure: The object you are trying to transfer or manipulate is not correctly positioned in the hierarchy.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing relationships or incorrect parent-child assignments.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the objects in the expected hierarchy.
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues with the configuration of the project or the way the objects are defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchical Structure:

  Use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ03 (Display Project) to review the project structure.
  
  
  
  Correct Relationships:
  
  If the relationship is incorrect, you may need to adjust the hierarchy. This can involve changing the parent of the object or reassigning it to the correct location in the project structure.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the project data to identify any discrepancies. This can often be done through specific reports or transactions designed for data integrity checks.
