• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS107 - Inconsistent hierarchy binding: &1 entries required, &2 entries found ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS107 indicates an inconsistency in the hierarchy binding of a Composite Data Source (CDS) in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA. This error typically arises when the system expects a certain number of entries in a hierarchy but finds a different number. Specifically, the message format is:
  
  &1 entries required: This indicates the number of entries that the system expects to find in the hierarchy.
  &2 entries found: This indicates the number of entries that were actually found.
  
  Cause
  The inconsistency can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Hierarchy Definition Issues: The hierarchy might not be defined correctly in the underlying data model.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or the underlying data source that affect the hierarchy.
  Data Loading Issues: Problems during data loading that lead to missing or extra entries in the hierarchy.
  Inconsistent Data: Data inconsistencies in the source system that affect the hierarchy structure.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition:
  
  Verify the hierarchy definition in the CDS view or InfoObject. Ensure that it is correctly set up and that all required nodes are present.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Source:
  
  Check the underlying data source for the hierarchy. Ensure that the data is consistent and that all required entries are present.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is corrupted or inconsistent, consider rebuilding it. This may involve deleting and recreating the hierarchy or refreshing the data.
  
  
  
  Data Load Monitoring:
  
  Monitor the data loading process to ensure that it completes successfully without errors. Check for any warnings or errors that might indicate issues with the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data model or hierarchy, review those changes to ensure they are correctly implemented.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction RSRT:
  
  Use the transaction RSRT (Query Monitor) to analyze the query and check the hierarchy binding. This can provide insights into what might be causing the inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
