• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RELH058 - Hierarchy blocked (Necessary to resend) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RELH058 Hierarchy blocked (Necessary to resend) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the hierarchy data being used in planning processes. This error indicates that the hierarchy is currently blocked, which prevents the system from processing requests that depend on that hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Locking: The hierarchy may be locked due to ongoing changes or updates being made to it. This can happen if another user or process is currently modifying the hierarchy.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the hierarchy data that need to be resolved before the hierarchy can be used.
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration settings in the APO system can lead to hierarchies being blocked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Status: Verify the status of the hierarchy in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/HEIR) and checking if the hierarchy is indeed locked.
  Release Locks: If the hierarchy is locked, you may need to wait for the current process to complete or contact the user who is making changes to release the lock.
  Resend Request: After ensuring that the hierarchy is not blocked, you can resend the request that triggered the error.
  Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or logs that might indicate why the hierarchy is blocked. This can provide insights into what needs to be fixed.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to hierarchy management in APO for any specific instructions or troubleshooting steps.
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the system configuration settings related to hierarchies and ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  Related Information:
