• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B335 - Remote hierarchy class does not support time-dependent hierarchy struct. ?

  The SAP error message R7B335, which states "Remote hierarchy class does not support time-dependent hierarchy struct," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with hierarchies in reporting or data modeling. This error indicates that the hierarchy structure you are trying to use is not compatible with time-dependent hierarchies.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Type Mismatch: The error usually arises when you are trying to use a remote hierarchy that is defined as a time-independent hierarchy in a context that requires a time-dependent hierarchy.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source or InfoObject you are working with may not be configured to support time-dependent hierarchies.
  Incompatibility with Queries: If you are using a query that expects a time-dependent hierarchy but the underlying hierarchy is not set up that way, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Settings: 
  
  Go to the hierarchy settings in the relevant InfoObject and ensure that it is set up correctly. If you need a time-dependent hierarchy, make sure that the hierarchy is defined as such.
  If you are using a remote hierarchy, verify that the remote hierarchy supports time-dependent structures.
  
  
  
  Modify Query or Data Source:
  
  If the query you are running requires a time-dependent hierarchy, consider modifying the query to use a time-independent hierarchy if that fits your reporting needs.
  Alternatively, if you need to use a time-dependent hierarchy, ensure that the data source or InfoObject is configured to support it.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates: 
  
  Ensure that your SAP BW system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be fixes or enhancements related to hierarchy handling.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to hierarchies in BW to understand the requirements and limitations of time-dependent and time-independent hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: 
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a critical issue affecting reporting.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Hierarchy Types: Understand the difference between time-dependent and time-independent hierarchies in SAP BW.
  InfoObjects: Familiarize yourself with how InfoObjects are defined and how their properties affect reporting and data modeling.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on hierarchy configurations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the R7B335 error and ensure that your hierarchy structures are compatible with your reporting requirements.
