• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS039 - Empty value in hierarchy binding for type &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS039 indicates that there is an empty value in a hierarchy binding for a specific type in a CDS (Core Data Services) view. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query or report that involves a hierarchy, and the system cannot find a valid value for the hierarchy binding.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Values: The hierarchy binding is expecting a value that is not present in the data. This can happen if the hierarchy is not properly defined or if there are missing entries in the hierarchy table.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Assignment: The hierarchy might not be correctly assigned to the characteristic in the CDS view.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or the underlying data that lead to the absence of expected values.
  Filter Conditions: If there are filter conditions applied that exclude all possible values for the hierarchy, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined in the system. Verify that all necessary nodes and values are present.
  Validate Data: Check the underlying data for the characteristic that is bound to the hierarchy. Make sure that there are no missing or null values that could lead to this error.
  Review CDS View: Look at the CDS view definition to ensure that the hierarchy binding is correctly specified. Make sure that the correct characteristic is being used for the hierarchy.
  Test with Different Filters: If applicable, try running the query without any filters or with different filter conditions to see if the issue persists.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy data.
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the CDS view to see where the empty value is being introduced.
