  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC132 - Enter hierarchy node manually, no default node can be determined
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system is unable to automatically determine a default hierarchy node during a process that requires one. Typically, this happens in the context of APC (Activity Price Calculation) or costing where a hierarchy node is expected to be assigned or derived automatically, but the system finds no suitable default node based on the current master data or configuration.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Missing or incomplete hierarchy assignments in the master data (e.g., cost center hierarchies, work center hierarchies).
  The hierarchy node is not maintained or assigned in the relevant customizing or master data.
  The system cannot find a default node because multiple nodes exist but no default is flagged.
  The relevant hierarchy is not properly activated or assigned in the controlling area or plant.
