• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJA_CHECK_BIZ_RULES013 - &1 cannot be a parent member or should be same as the source ?

  The SAP error message UJA_CHECK_BIZ_RULES013 typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) when there is an issue with the hierarchy of members in a dimension. This error indicates that a member (often a dimension member) is being incorrectly defined as a parent member or is not aligned with the source member.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Misconfiguration: The member you are trying to define as a parent is either already a child member or is not correctly set up in the hierarchy.
  Inconsistent Member Properties: The properties of the member do not match the expected properties of a parent member. For example, if the source member is defined as a child, it cannot be a parent in another context.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity in the dimension, such as circular references or incorrect parent-child relationships.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Member Hierarchy: Review the hierarchy of the dimension in question. Ensure that the member you are trying to set as a parent is not already defined as a child member elsewhere.
  Verify Member Properties: Ensure that the properties of the member align with the requirements for a parent member. This includes checking the member type and ensuring it is set correctly.
  Adjust Relationships: If the member is incorrectly set, you may need to adjust the relationships in the dimension to ensure that the parent-child relationships are valid.
  Data Validation: Run data validation checks to ensure that there are no inconsistencies or errors in the dimension data that could be causing this issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP BPC documentation for specific guidelines on defining parent and child members, as well as best practices for maintaining dimension hierarchies.
