• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAS020 - No node has been selected ?

  The SAP error message SAS020, which states "No node has been selected," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Analytics when a user attempts to execute a query or report without selecting a necessary node or dimension in the hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Selection: The user has not selected any nodes in a hierarchy or structure that is required for the query to execute.
  Hierarchy Configuration: The hierarchy may not be properly configured, or the nodes may not be available for selection due to authorization issues or data availability.

  Select a Node: Ensure that you select at least one node in the hierarchy or dimension before executing the query. This is often done in the selection screen of the report or query.
  Check Hierarchy Settings: Verify that the hierarchy is correctly set up in the BW system. Ensure that the nodes are active and available for selection.
  Review Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to access the nodes in the hierarchy. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Query Design Review: If you are a developer or have access to the query design, review the query settings to ensure that it does not require a node that is not available or that the selection criteria are correctly defined.
