• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMK130 - Selected hierarchy node no longer exists ?

  The SAP error message UMK130 ("Selected hierarchy node no longer exists") typically occurs in the context of using SAP's Master Data Management or when working with hierarchical data structures, such as cost centers, profit centers, or other organizational units. This error indicates that the system is trying to access a hierarchy node that has been deleted or is no longer valid.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Node: The hierarchy node you are trying to access has been deleted from the system.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as orphaned references to nodes that no longer exist.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the hierarchy might not have been transported correctly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain nodes in the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Structure: Verify the hierarchy structure to ensure that the node you are trying to access still exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., KSH1 for cost centers) and checking the hierarchy.
  Recreate the Node: If the node has been deleted and is required, you may need to recreate it in the system.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify and resolve any inconsistencies in the hierarchy data.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy nodes. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Transport Review: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly transported.
