• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SPP_CHECK092 - Hierarchy struc. for inventory balancing is not set to 'SPP_INVBALANCING' ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SPP_CHECK092 indicates that the hierarchy structure for inventory balancing is not set to 'SPP_INVBALANCING'. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the Supply Network Planning (SNP) or Supply Planning (SPP) modules.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined hierarchy structure for inventory balancing in the system. The system expects a specific hierarchy structure (in this case, 'SPP_INVBALANCING') to be configured for the inventory balancing process to function correctly. If this hierarchy is not set up, the system cannot perform the necessary calculations or processes related to inventory balancing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the hierarchy structure for inventory balancing is correctly defined and activated in your SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Structure:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/HIERARCHY or use the relevant menu path to access the hierarchy management.
  Verify if the hierarchy structure 'SPP_INVBALANCING' exists. If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create/Activate Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy does not exist, create a new hierarchy structure:
  
  Use the transaction code /SAPAPO/HIERARCHY to create a new hierarchy.
  Define the hierarchy nodes and levels as required for your inventory balancing needs.
  
  
  If the hierarchy exists but is not activated, ensure that it is activated for use in inventory balancing.
  
  
  
  Assign Hierarchy to Planning Area:
  
  Ensure that the created or activated hierarchy is assigned to the relevant planning area.
  Use transaction code /SAPAPO/PLAN to access the planning area settings and assign the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for inventory balancing in the relevant planning area to ensure that they are correctly set up to use the defined hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the inventory balancing process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
