• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDTM113 - External hierarchy with template "&1" not unique (Qu: "&2", IS: "&3"). ?

  The SAP error message RSDTM113 indicates that there is an issue with the external hierarchy in the context of a query. Specifically, it suggests that the external hierarchy template specified is not unique for the given query and InfoObject. This can occur in scenarios where multiple hierarchies are defined for the same InfoObject, leading to ambiguity in the selection of the hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Unique Hierarchies: The error typically arises when there are multiple external hierarchies defined for the same InfoObject, and the system cannot determine which one to use based on the provided template.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Assignment: The hierarchy might not be correctly assigned to the InfoObject or the query.
  Query Design Issues: The query might be designed in a way that it references multiple hierarchies without clear differentiation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definitions: Go to the hierarchy maintenance for the relevant InfoObject and check if there are multiple hierarchies defined. If so, ensure that the hierarchy you want to use is correctly defined and marked as the default if necessary.
  Modify the Query: Review the query design in the Query Designer. Ensure that the correct hierarchy is being referenced and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Use Unique Hierarchy Names: If possible, rename the hierarchies to ensure that they are unique and easily identifiable.
  Hierarchy Assignment: Ensure that the correct hierarchy is assigned to the InfoObject in the relevant settings. You may need to adjust the settings in the InfoObject maintenance.
  Check for Template Usage: If you are using templates in your queries, ensure that the template being referenced is unique and correctly configured.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage hierarchies and InfoObjects.
