How To Fix UPP_PP_K058 - Hierarchy &1 is not suited to the planning mode -> see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPP_PP_K - Messages for Planning Processor Core

• Message number: 058

• Message text: Hierarchy &1 is not suited to the planning mode -> see long text

What causes this issue?

In the planning layout, you must decide whether planning is to be made
in a hierarchical data model or whether possibly used BW hierarchies
should only be used for the visualization of subtotals.
A hierarchical data model exists, when you want to use a BW hierarchy
with postable nodes or a BPS characteristic hierarchy in the layout.
Values can be entered to nodes of the hierarchy in exactly these cases.
BW hierarchies which contain text nodes behave analogue to a total or
subtotals. In this model, nodes with lower-level nodes such as totals
or subtotals cannot carry any own values.
However, hierarchy '&V1&' is contained in the package or in the
planning level, which contains postable nodes. But the option for
planning in the hierarchical data model was not selected in the
planning layout.
This case can occur when you have used hierarchies with postable nodes
in an earlier release, because then there was not the option of
planning in a hierarchical data model. In this case simply set this
option in the first screen of the Layout Builder.

System Response

Accessing planning with the current settings is not possible.

How to fix this error?

If planning should be executed in a hierarchical data model, then use a
BW hierarchy with postable nodes or the BPS characteristic hierachies
and set the corresponding option in the first screen of the Layout
Builder.
You can use BW hierarchies with text nodes or the usual options for
setting totals or subtotals (in the third screen of the layout builder
or interactive in planning) for the visualization of totals. Therefore,
the corresponding option is to be set in the first screen of the Layout
Builder.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPP_PP_K058 - Hierarchy &1 is not suited to the planning mode -> see long text ?

  The SAP error message UPP_PP_K058 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy being used in the planning mode. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the hierarchy defined for a particular planning area or planning object is not compatible with the selected planning mode.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Compatibility: The hierarchy you are trying to use may not be compatible with the planning mode you have selected. For example, if the planning mode requires a specific type of hierarchy (e.g., a product hierarchy), and the one you are using does not meet those requirements, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The planning area or planning object may not be correctly configured to use the specified hierarchy.
  Missing Hierarchy Levels: The hierarchy may be missing certain levels or nodes that are required for the planning process.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the data in the hierarchy, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Review the configuration of the hierarchy in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly for the planning mode you are using.
  Verify Planning Mode: Make sure that the planning mode you are using is appropriate for the hierarchy. You may need to switch to a different planning mode that is compatible with the hierarchy.
  Adjust Hierarchy Levels: If necessary, modify the hierarchy to include the required levels or nodes that are missing.
  Consult Long Text: The error message suggests checking the long text for more details. This can provide specific guidance on what is wrong with the hierarchy in relation to the planning mode.
  Test with Different Hierarchies: If possible, test the planning process with different hierarchies to identify if the issue is specific to one hierarchy or a broader configuration issue.
