• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM751 - No hierarchies are allowed for this InfoObject ?

  The SAP error message RSM751 ("No hierarchies are allowed for this InfoObject") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to use a hierarchy with an InfoObject that does not support it. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  InfoObject Type: The InfoObject you are working with is defined as a characteristic that does not support hierarchies. For example, certain types of InfoObjects, like key figures, do not allow hierarchies.
  Hierarchy Assignment: You may be attempting to assign a hierarchy to an InfoObject that has not been configured to allow hierarchies.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:

  Check the properties of the InfoObject in question. Ensure that the "Hierarchy" option is enabled if you intend to use hierarchies with this InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Use Compatible InfoObjects:
  
  If the InfoObject is not meant to support hierarchies, consider using a different InfoObject that is designed to handle hierarchies.

  Ensure that the data model is correctly set up and that the InfoObject is being used in the right context. Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect usage in queries or reports.
