• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCU_EXCEPTION000 - Contorl dimension &1 should not have hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCU_EXCEPTION000 indicates that there is an issue with the control dimension in a Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) environment. Specifically, the error states that the control dimension (identified by &1) should not have a hierarchy associated with it.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  A control dimension is incorrectly configured to have a hierarchy. Control dimensions are meant to be used for controlling the flow of data and should not have hierarchical structures.
  The dimension settings in the BPC model or the underlying InfoObject in SAP BW may have been incorrectly set to allow hierarchies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dimension Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and check the settings of the control dimension (the one indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that the dimension is set up correctly and does not allow hierarchies. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject maintenance and checking the properties of the dimension.
  
  
  
  Remove Hierarchy:
  
  If a hierarchy is defined for the control dimension, you will need to remove it. This can typically be done in the InfoObject maintenance screen by deleting the hierarchy associated with that dimension.
  
  
  
  Re-validate the Model:
  
  After making changes, revalidate the BPC model to ensure that the changes are recognized and that the error does not persist.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Load Issues:
  
  If the error occurs during data loading or processing, ensure that the data being loaded does not reference any hierarchical structures for the control dimension.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP BPC documentation for specific guidelines on dimension settings and configurations to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
