How To Fix UPP_PP_K057 - Hierarchy &1 contains invalid nodes

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPP_PP_K - Messages for Planning Processor Core

• Message number: 057

• Message text: Hierarchy &1 contains invalid nodes

What causes this issue?

In addition to the hierarchy-bearing characteristic, hierarchy &V1&
also contains nodes on the characteristic with the technical name &V2&.
This characteristic is also contained in the current planning layout
and is in the header area or in the data columns. However, if the
hierarchy is displayed in the entry screen, then characteristic &V2& is
also contained in the lead column.

System Response

Hierarchy &V1& cannot be used in the current planning layout.

How to fix this error?

If you want to display a BW hierarchy in the lead column of a planning
layout, then either use hierarchies with postable nodes or hierarchies
that only contain text nodes in addition to the hierarchy-bearing
characteristic. If the hierarchy-bearing characteristic has
higher-level characteristics, then these characteristics should be
contained in the header area of the planning layout.
