  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER112 typically indicates an issue related to a characteristic that is defined as a SID (Surrogate ID) conversion characteristic in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error often arises during data loading or when working with InfoObjects that have SID tables.
  Cause:
  The error message usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic in question may not be properly configured as a SID conversion characteristic in the data model.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data being loaded, such as missing or invalid values that cannot be converted to SIDs.
  Hierarchy Issues: If the characteristic is part of a hierarchy, there may be issues with the hierarchy structure or the way it is defined.
  Missing Master Data: The master data for the characteristic may not be available or may not match the data being loaded.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDDTPS_HIER112 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance and verify that the characteristic is correctly set up as a SID conversion characteristic.
  Ensure that the SID table is properly defined and that the characteristic is linked to the correct master data.
  
  
  
  Validate Data:
  
  Check the data being loaded for any inconsistencies or invalid entries. Ensure that all values can be mapped to valid SIDs.

  Review Hierarchies:
