• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRT182 - InfoPackage '&1' is not a hierarchy InfoPackage; canceled ?

  The SAP error message RSCRT182 indicates that the InfoPackage you are trying to execute is not a hierarchy InfoPackage, which means that the system expected a hierarchy-related InfoPackage but found a standard one instead. This can occur in scenarios where you are working with hierarchical data in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and the system is expecting a specific type of InfoPackage to handle that data.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect InfoPackage Type: The InfoPackage you are using is not configured as a hierarchy InfoPackage. Hierarchy InfoPackages are specifically designed to load hierarchical data structures, while standard InfoPackages are used for flat data.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the InfoPackage settings or the data source that is leading the system to expect a hierarchy InfoPackage.
  Data Source Type: The data source you are trying to load data from may be set up to require a hierarchy InfoPackage, but the InfoPackage you are using does not meet that requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoPackage Configuration: 
  
  Go to the InfoPackage in question and verify its settings. Ensure that it is configured correctly for the type of data you are trying to load.
