• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RH618 - InfoObject & has hierarchy type 'Own Implementation' ?

  The SAP error message RH618 indicates that the InfoObject you are working with has a hierarchy type of "Own Implementation." This typically means that the InfoObject is defined in a way that does not conform to the standard hierarchy types provided by SAP, and it may require a custom implementation or specific handling.
  Cause:
  
  Custom Hierarchy Implementation: The InfoObject is set up with a custom hierarchy that does not follow the standard SAP hierarchy types.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with how the hierarchy is configured in the InfoObject settings.
  Missing Hierarchy Data: The hierarchy data for the InfoObject may not be properly defined or may be missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check the hierarchy settings for the InfoObject in question.
  Ensure that the hierarchy type is correctly set and that it matches the intended implementation.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Implementation:
  
  If the InfoObject is using a custom implementation, review the code or logic that defines the hierarchy. Ensure that it is correctly implemented and that all necessary methods are defined.
  
  
  
  Load Hierarchy Data:
  
  If the hierarchy data is missing, you may need to load or create the hierarchy data for the InfoObject. This can typically be done through the relevant data loading transactions or by using the hierarchy maintenance tools in SAP.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any documentation related to the custom implementation of the InfoObject to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes or Patches:
  
  Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address issues related to custom hierarchies or the specific InfoObject you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
