• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TE179 - Node & in the risk hierarchy is not an end node ?

  The SAP error message TE179 indicates that there is an issue with the risk hierarchy in the context of SAP GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) or similar modules where risk management is involved. Specifically, the error message states that the node you are trying to work with is not an end node in the risk hierarchy. 
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure: The node you are trying to access or manipulate is not a terminal node (end node) in the hierarchy. In a risk hierarchy, end nodes are typically the final points where risks are defined or assigned, while non-end nodes may serve as parent nodes or categories.
  Incorrect Node Selection: You may have selected a node that is intended to group other nodes rather than represent a specific risk.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the risk hierarchy is configured in the system, leading to nodes being incorrectly classified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Node Type: Check the node you are working with in the risk hierarchy. Ensure that it is indeed an end node. You can do this by navigating through the hierarchy structure in the SAP GRC application.
  Select an End Node: If you need to assign a risk or perform an action that requires an end node, make sure to select a node that is designated as an end node.
  Hierarchy Configuration: If you believe the hierarchy is incorrectly configured, you may need to review the hierarchy setup. This may involve:
  
  Checking the definitions of the nodes in the hierarchy.
  Ensuring that the hierarchy is properly structured with clear parent-child relationships.
  Consulting with your SAP GRC administrator or a functional consultant to correct any configuration issues.
  
  
  Documentation and Training: Review SAP documentation or training materials related to risk hierarchy management to better understand how to navigate and utilize the hierarchy effectively.
  
  Related Information:
