• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP200 - Change data only on one hierarchy level ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP200 Change data only on one hierarchy level typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when working with the Supply Network Planning (SNP) module. This error indicates that there is an attempt to change data at multiple levels of a hierarchy simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure: The error arises when you try to make changes to data that spans multiple levels of a hierarchy (e.g., changing data for both a parent node and its child nodes at the same time).
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces this rule to maintain data consistency and integrity within the hierarchical structure.
  User Actions: This can happen if a user is trying to update planning data (like demand, supply, or other key figures) for a group of products that belong to different levels of the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Single Level Changes: Ensure that any changes you are making are confined to a single level of the hierarchy. For example, if you are updating data for a product group, make sure you are only updating data for that specific group and not for its sub-groups or parent groups.
  Use of Aggregation: If you need to make changes across multiple levels, consider aggregating the data first and then applying changes at the desired level.
  Check Hierarchy Settings: Review the hierarchy settings in your APO system to ensure that they are correctly configured and that you are aware of the levels you are working with.
  Data Validation: Before making changes, validate the data to ensure that it adheres to the hierarchy constraints.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or updates regarding this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP APO documentation for detailed information on working with hierarchies and data changes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to SNP and hierarchy management, such as /SAPAPO/HIERARCHY for managing hierarchies.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your data changes are compliant with the hierarchy structure in SAP APO.
