  The SAP error message TPM_TRCO_CTY072 indicates that there is an issue with the commodity ID being used in a transaction or configuration related to Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) in SAP. Specifically, the error states that the parent commodity ID you are trying to use is not classified as an "Abstract Commodity" (commodity kind "0"). 
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Commodity Type: The parent commodity ID you are referencing is not set up as an abstract commodity. In SAP, abstract commodities are used as templates or categories for other commodities, and they should have a specific configuration.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Commodity Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code for maintaining commodities (usually TPM1 or TPM2).
  Verify the settings for the parent commodity ID in question. Ensure that it is indeed set as an abstract commodity (commodity kind "0").
  
  
  
  Create or Modify the Commodity:
  
  If the parent commodity is not set as an abstract commodity, you may need to create a new abstract commodity or modify the existing one to ensure it has the correct classification.

  Review Documentation:
  
  Check SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up commodities and understanding the hierarchy.
  Consult with your SAP functional consultant or support team for assistance in resolving the configuration issue.
