• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W7033 - The profile for value-based Inv. Management contains a hierarchy level ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W7033 – The profile for value-based Inv. Management contains a hierarchy level
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs in SAP Inventory Management when you try to assign or use a Value-Based Inventory Management (VBIM) profile that includes a hierarchy level. Value-Based Inventory Management profiles are not allowed to contain hierarchy levels because VBIM works on a valuation level that does not support hierarchical structuring.
  In other words, the profile you are using for VBIM has been configured with hierarchy levels, which is incompatible with the system's requirements for value-based inventory management.
  
  Explanation
  
  Value-Based Inventory Management (VBIM) is a method where inventory is managed and valued based on value categories rather than quantity.
  VBIM profiles define how inventory values are managed and reported.
  Hierarchy levels are typically used in quantity-based inventory management to structure materials or storage locations.
  VBIM profiles must be flat (no hierarchy) because the valuation logic does not support hierarchical aggregation.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the VBIM profile configuration:
