• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_PT031 - Hierarchy & is not a product hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_PT031 Hierarchy & is not a product hierarchy typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the product hierarchy being referenced in a planning or reporting transaction. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Hierarchy Type: The hierarchy being referenced is not defined as a product hierarchy in the system. This could happen if the hierarchy is of a different type (e.g., a customer hierarchy or a sales hierarchy).
  Hierarchy Not Defined: The specified hierarchy may not be defined in the system at all, or it may have been deleted or not activated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified hierarchy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the hierarchy from being recognized correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/OM_HIER to check the existing hierarchies.
  Ensure that the hierarchy you are trying to use is indeed a product hierarchy and is active.
  
  
  
  Verify Hierarchy Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly assigned to the relevant product master data.
  Check if the product is assigned to the correct hierarchy level.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the product hierarchy. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Activate Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is missing or inactive, you may need to recreate it or activate it in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that the product hierarchy is set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on product hierarchies and their configuration.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OM_HIER for hierarchy management and /SAPAPO/MDP for product master data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or bugs related to product hierarchies.
