  The SAP error message RSPLS617 indicates that a specified hierarchy version does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with hierarchies in InfoObjects or when trying to access or manipulate a hierarchy that has not been defined or activated.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Hierarchy Version: The hierarchy version you are trying to access or use has not been created or activated in the system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the hierarchy version name or ID you are trying to reference.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy version was recently transported from another system, it may not have been successfully imported or activated.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to view or access the hierarchy version.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Version: Verify that the hierarchy version you are trying to use actually exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking the hierarchy versions available.
