  Error Message
  WRF_PRC_BAS026: Hierarchy ID is not filled
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Business Process Management scenarios where a hierarchy structure is expected but the Hierarchy ID field is missing or not maintained. The system requires a valid Hierarchy ID to determine the organizational structure or reporting lines for processing the workflow or business process.
  Common causes include:
  
  The organizational hierarchy has not been defined or maintained in the system.
  The relevant master data (such as organizational units, positions, or employees) is incomplete or missing the Hierarchy ID.
  The workflow or process configuration expects a Hierarchy ID but it was not provided or passed correctly.
  Custom code or enhancements that rely on hierarchy data are not fetching or setting the Hierarchy ID properly.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Organizational Hierarchy Setup:
  
  Go to transaction PPOME or PO10 to verify that the organizational units and positions are properly maintained.
  Ensure that the hierarchy structure is complete and consistent.
  
  
  
  Maintain Hierarchy ID:
  
  Identify the relevant hierarchy (e.g., reporting structure, cost center hierarchy).
  Use the appropriate IMG activity or transaction to maintain the Hierarchy ID.
  For example, in some scenarios, you may need to maintain the hierarchy in transaction PPOSE or via IMG path:
  
  Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Maintain Reporting Structure
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the employee or object involved in the workflow has the Hierarchy ID assigned.
  Use transactions like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to check if the hierarchy-related infotypes or fields are filled.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or Process Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow container or process parameters to ensure the Hierarchy ID is being passed correctly.
  Debug the workflow or custom code to see where the Hierarchy ID is expected and why it is missing.
  
  
  
  Custom Code / Enhancements:
  
  If custom developments are involved, review the code to ensure it correctly reads and sets the Hierarchy ID.
  Add error handling or default values if necessary.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After maintaining the hierarchy and ensuring the Hierarchy ID is filled, re-execute the process or workflow.
