• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG087 - Missing hierarchy node ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG087 Missing hierarchy node
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Process Integration scenarios where a required hierarchy node is missing in the organizational structure or in the workflow definition. Specifically, the system expects a certain node (such as an organizational unit, position, or role) to be present in the hierarchy to correctly route or process the workflow or offer, but it cannot find it.
  Common causes include:
  
  The organizational hierarchy is incomplete or not properly maintained.
  The workflow or offer references a hierarchy node that has been deleted or not yet created.
  Integration between modules (e.g., Organizational Management and Workflow) is inconsistent.
  Missing or incorrect configuration in the workflow or offer parameters that rely on hierarchy nodes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Organizational Hierarchy:
  
  Use transaction codes like PPOME or PO13 to verify the organizational structure.
  Ensure that the required hierarchy nodes (positions, organizational units, jobs) exist and are active.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow/Offer Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow definition or offer parameters to confirm that the referenced hierarchy nodes are correct.
  If the workflow references a node that does not exist, update the workflow or create the missing node.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Organizational Data:
  
  If integration between Organizational Management and Workflow is involved, ensure that the data is synchronized.
  Run relevant reports or programs to update the workflow container or organizational data.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy nodes.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Repair Missing Nodes:
  
  If nodes were accidentally deleted, recreate them or adjust the workflow to use existing nodes.
