  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS150 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy expansion level in a query that uses a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, the message states that the hierarchy expansion level is ignored because there is no display hierarchy active for the specified characteristic.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
