• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR294 - InfoSource & does not deliver hierarchies ?

  The SAP error message RSAR294 indicates that an InfoSource does not deliver hierarchies. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to extract data from a source system, and the InfoSource you are using is not configured to deliver hierarchical data.
  Cause:
  
  InfoSource Configuration: The InfoSource may not be set up to include hierarchies. This can happen if the InfoSource was created without the necessary settings to handle hierarchical data.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source may not support hierarchies, or the specific fields required for hierarchies are not included in the InfoSource.
  Hierarchy Not Defined: The hierarchy itself may not be defined in the source system or may not be activated for extraction.
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the InfoSource may not be configured to allow for hierarchy extraction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Settings: 
  
  Go to the InfoSource in the SAP BW system and check its settings. Ensure that the hierarchy-related fields are included in the InfoSource.
  If necessary, modify the InfoSource to include the required hierarchy fields.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source: 
  
  Check the underlying data source (e.g., InfoObject, DataSource) to ensure that it is set up to deliver hierarchies. You may need to adjust the settings in the source system.
  
  
  
  Define Hierarchies: 
  
  If hierarchies are not defined, you may need to create them in the source system or in the BW system. Ensure that the hierarchies are activated and available for extraction.
  
  
  
  Technical Settings Adjustment: 
  
  Review the technical settings of the InfoSource and ensure that the option to extract hierarchies is enabled.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test extraction to verify that the hierarchies are now being delivered correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the InfoSource or hierarchy extraction.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for detailed information on configuring InfoSources and handling hierarchies.
