• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA432 - Hierarchy field '&1' not supported ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA432, which states "Hierarchy field '&1' not supported," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with hierarchies in InfoObjects or when trying to use a hierarchy in a query or report.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Hierarchy Type: The hierarchy field you are trying to use may not be supported for the specific operation you are attempting. For example, certain types of hierarchies (like time hierarchies) may not be compatible with certain queries or data models.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject or the hierarchy may not be properly configured. This could include issues with the hierarchy structure, missing nodes, or incorrect settings in the InfoObject definition.
  Data Model Issues: The data model may not support the hierarchy due to the way it has been designed or due to missing relationships between objects.
  Version Compatibility: If you are using an older version of SAP BW or if there are compatibility issues with the version of the hierarchy, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Verify the configuration of the hierarchy in the InfoObject. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that all necessary nodes are defined.
  Review Query Design: If the error occurs in a query, review the query design to ensure that the hierarchy is being used correctly. Check if the hierarchy is compatible with the query structure.
  Use Supported Hierarchies: If the hierarchy type is not supported, consider using a different hierarchy that is compatible with your requirements.
  Update SAP BW: If you are using an older version of SAP BW, consider updating to a newer version that may have better support for hierarchies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoObject and hierarchy type you are using. There may be specific guidelines or limitations documented by SAP.
  Check for SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on hierarchy usage.
