• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM047 - InfoPackage & has different selected hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message RSM047 indicates that there is a mismatch between the hierarchy selected in the InfoPackage and the hierarchy defined in the data source or the target InfoObject. This typically occurs when you are trying to load data into a Data Warehouse (BW) InfoObject that has a different hierarchy structure than what is specified in the InfoPackage.
  Cause:
  
  
  Hierarchy Mismatch: The hierarchy selected in the InfoPackage does not match the hierarchy defined in the InfoObject. This can happen if:
  
  The InfoObject has been changed (e.g., a new hierarchy has been added or an existing one has been modified).
  The InfoPackage is configured to use a different hierarchy than what is currently active in the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Data Source Changes: If the data source has been modified or if the hierarchy in the source system has changed, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Incorrect InfoPackage Settings: The InfoPackage may have been set up incorrectly, selecting a hierarchy that is not applicable for the data being loaded.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject in the SAP BW system and check the available hierarchies.
  Ensure that the hierarchy selected in the InfoPackage matches one of the hierarchies defined for the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Modify the InfoPackage:
  
  Open the InfoPackage in the SAP BW system.
  Navigate to the hierarchy selection section and select the correct hierarchy that corresponds to the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Update the Data Source:
  
  If the data source has changed, ensure that the InfoPackage is updated to reflect the current structure of the data source.
  
  
  
  Recreate the InfoPackage:
  
  If the issue persists, consider recreating the InfoPackage to ensure that all settings are correct and up to date.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the InfoObject or hierarchy was recently transported from another system, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoObjects and InfoPackages.
  Hierarchy Maintenance: Use transaction code RSH1 to maintain hierarchies for InfoObjects.
  Data Source Monitoring: Use transaction code RSA3 to check the data source and ensure that it is returning the expected data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM047 error and successfully load your data into the SAP BW system.
