• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01109 - Suppliers can only be moved to the root node ?

  The SAP error message W_DSD_01109 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchical structure of suppliers in the SAP system, specifically in the context of the SAP Direct Store Delivery (DSD) module. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to move a supplier to a node in the hierarchy that is not allowed, such as trying to move a supplier to a non-root node.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure: The error occurs because suppliers can only be assigned to the root node of the supplier hierarchy. If you attempt to move a supplier to a child node or any other non-root node, the system will generate this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the supplier hierarchy setup, leading to attempts to place suppliers in invalid positions.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be issues with the data integrity of the supplier records, causing the system to misinterpret the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Structure: Review the supplier hierarchy structure in the SAP system. Ensure that you are trying to move the supplier to the correct root node.
  Move to Root Node: If you need to change the supplier's position, ensure that you are moving it to the root node of the hierarchy.
  Configuration Review: If the hierarchy structure seems correct, review the configuration settings for the supplier hierarchy in the SAP system to ensure they are set up properly.
  Data Validation: Validate the supplier data to ensure there are no inconsistencies or errors that could be causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing supplier hierarchies.
