• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORG_UNIT065 - Org. unit &1 must not directly be assigned to a Company Organization ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORG_UNIT065 indicates that an organizational unit (org unit) is incorrectly assigned directly to a Company Organization. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to configure organizational structures.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system enforces a specific hierarchy for organizational units. In SAP, certain organizational units should not be directly assigned to a Company Organization. Instead, they should be assigned to a higher-level organizational unit, such as a Plant or a Distribution Center, which then connects to the Company Organization.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the assignment of the organizational unit in question and ensure it follows the correct hierarchy. Here are the steps to address the issue:
  
  
  Identify the Org Unit: Determine which organizational unit is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Check Current Assignments: Use transaction codes like SPRO (to access the SAP Reference IMG) or OMC4 (for organizational unit assignments) to review the current assignments of the org unit.
  
  
  Reassign the Org Unit:
  
  If the org unit is directly assigned to a Company Organization, you need to reassign it to a valid higher-level unit (like a Plant or Distribution Center).
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings and change the assignment accordingly.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes: After making the changes, validate the organizational structure to ensure that the hierarchy is correct and that there are no further errors.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: Once the changes are made, test the relevant processes to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Organizational Structure: Understanding the hierarchy of organizational units in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the different types of organizational units and their relationships.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidelines on organizational unit configuration and best practices.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing organizational units, such as OMC4, SPRO, and others related to SCM/APO.
