• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM383 - There are no hierarchies for this InfoSource in source system ?

  The SAP error message RSM383, which states "There are no hierarchies for this InfoSource in source system," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to load data from a source system that does not have the necessary hierarchies defined for the specified InfoSource.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchies: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoSource you are trying to load data from does not have any hierarchies defined in the source system. Hierarchies are essential for certain types of data processing and reporting in SAP BW.
  Incorrect InfoSource Configuration: The InfoSource may not be correctly configured to pull hierarchies from the source system.
  Data Source Issues: The data source in the source system may not be set up to include hierarchies, or the hierarchies may not have been activated or maintained properly.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was recently transported from another system, it may not have the necessary hierarchies in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchies in Source System:
  
  Go to the source system and verify if the required hierarchies are defined for the InfoSource. You can do this by checking the relevant master data or hierarchy settings in the source system.
  
  
  
  Maintain Hierarchies:
  
  If hierarchies are missing, you will need to create or maintain them in the source system. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction codes (e.g., for master data maintenance).
  
  
  
  Update InfoSource Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the InfoSource is correctly configured to pull hierarchies. You may need to check the settings in the InfoSource maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1 in BW).
  
  
  
  Check Data Source:
  
  Verify that the data source in the source system is set up to include hierarchies. You may need to adjust the data source settings to ensure that hierarchies are included in the extraction.
  
  
  
  Re-activate InfoSource:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the InfoSource in the BW system can help. This can be done in the BW modeling tools.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the InfoSource was transported, ensure that all related objects (including hierarchies) were also transported correctly. You may need to manually create or adjust hierarchies in the target system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSO2 (Data Source Maintenance), and RSMO (Monitor Data Load).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed steps on maintaining hierarchies and InfoSources.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP BW team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM383 error and successfully load data from the source system.
