- To many hierarchies in TC document flow. Maximum is &1. ?The SAP error message WB2B_TEW104 indicates that there are too many hierarchies in the transaction document flow, exceeding the maximum limit set by the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's document flow management, particularly when dealing with complex transactions that involve multiple levels of hierarchy.
Cause:

To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
Review Document Flow: Analyze the document flow to identify unnecessary or redundant documents. Simplifying the hierarchy by removing or consolidating documents may help.
Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your SAP system to see if the maximum limit for hierarchies can be adjusted. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
Limit Hierarchical Relationships: If possible, limit the number of hierarchical relationships created during transactions. This may involve changing how documents are linked or processed.
Batch Processing: If the issue arises from processing a large number of documents at once, consider breaking the process into smaller batches to avoid hitting the hierarchy limit.
SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on how to handle it. You can search the SAP Support Portal for updates or patches that may resolve the issue.
