  The SAP error message RSDTM199 ("Association results could not be loaded as hierarchies") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is an issue with loading data related to hierarchies in a query or when trying to display data that involves hierarchical structures.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Data: The hierarchy data that is supposed to be loaded may not exist or may not be properly defined in the InfoObject.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Settings: The settings for the hierarchy in the InfoObject may not be configured correctly, leading to issues in loading the hierarchy.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy data.
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues in the underlying data model, such as missing or incorrect associations.
  Query Design Issues: The query may be designed in a way that does not properly handle the hierarchy, or it may be referencing a hierarchy that is not available.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: Verify that the hierarchy is correctly defined in the InfoObject. Ensure that the hierarchy nodes and levels are properly set up.
  Load Hierarchy Data: If the hierarchy data is missing, ensure that the data load process for the hierarchy is executed successfully. You may need to run the data load for the InfoObject that contains the hierarchy.
  Review Authorizations: Check the user authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the hierarchy data.
  Validate Query Design: Review the query design in the BEx Query Designer to ensure that it is correctly set up to handle hierarchies. Make sure that the correct hierarchy is being referenced.
  Check for Data Model Issues: Investigate the underlying data model for any inconsistencies or issues. This may involve checking the data source, transformations, and data flows.
  Rebuild Hierarchies: If necessary, you may need to rebuild the hierarchies in the InfoObject to ensure they are correctly structured.
