  SAP Error Message:
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG086 Invalid hierarchy node &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow or Process Integration scenarios when the system encounters an invalid or non-existent hierarchy node ID during processing. The hierarchy node is typically part of an organizational structure or workflow hierarchy used to route tasks or define process steps.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The hierarchy node ID referenced in the workflow or process does not exist in the system.  
  The hierarchy node has been deleted or is inactive.  
  Incorrect or outdated configuration in the workflow or organizational management (OM) structure.  
  Data inconsistencies between the workflow and organizational management modules.  
  Transport or system copy issues where hierarchy nodes were not properly migrated.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Verify the Hierarchy Node ID:
  
  Check the node ID mentioned in the error message (&1) in the organizational management (OM) or workflow configuration. Use transaction codes such as:  
  
  PPOME or PO13 to display organizational units and hierarchy nodes.  
  PPOSE to check organizational structure.  
  SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze workflow logs and identify the problematic node.
  
  
  
  Check Node Validity:
  
  Ensure the node exists and is active. If it was deleted or made inactive, restore or reactivate it if necessary.
  
  
  Correct Workflow or Process Configuration:
  
  If the node is referenced in a workflow step or process definition, update the configuration to point to a valid node.
  
  
  Synchronize Organizational Data:
  
  If organizational data is maintained in a separate system or module, ensure synchronization is correct.
  
  
  Transport and System Copy Checks:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or system copy, verify that all relevant organizational data and workflow configurations were transported correctly.
  
  
  Debugging and Logs:
  
  Use workflow logs (SWI1) and trace tools to pinpoint where the invalid node is referenced.
