How To Fix WXCM005 - Specify a hierachy structure

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXCM - Messages for Package CM_MAP

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Specify a hierachy structure

What causes this issue?

To create a planning hierarchy from master data, you have to specify
which planning levels to be filled belong together, in the sense of a
"master data hierarchy". Examples of such master data hierarchies are
the CDT hierarchy or the material group hierarchy. In principle, you
can group together any characteristics in a hierarchy.
The quantity and sequence of characteristics in the master data
hierarchy are described technically in a dictionary structure, which
contains these characteristics. The dictionary structure that you
specify here is called the hierarchy structure. The characteristics of
the hierarchy structure form (along with the quantity of selected
<ZK>attributes</>, that is, the characteristics in the planning
hierarchy that are not contained in the master data hierarchy) the
planning levels that are to be filled in the planning hierarchy.
The system determines automatically the function module that specifies
the values of the master data hierarchy entries. It does this from the
selection characteristics that are to be specified and that have
already been maintained in the hierarchy structure and in the optional
stucture of the planning hierarchy. You maintain the assignment of
master data hierarchy <-> function module in transaction CMMAP02.
<ZH>Example:</>
The delivered planning scenario 1_CM contains, for planning step
1_CM_TA_2, the plannning levels HIER_ID, CDT1, ... , CDT7, MATNR.
If the planning hierarchy is completely empty and you want to transfer
completely a CDT hierarcy for a hierarchy ID into the plannning
hierarchy, the hierarchy structure must contain the characteristics
HIER_ID, CDT1, ..., CDT7, MATNR (compare this with dictionary structure
WISP_CM_HIESTRUC_1_CM). You do not need to enter any selection
characteristics.
If the planning hierarchy is completely empty and you want to transfer
only the categories for a hierarchy ID into the planning hierarchy, the
hierarchy structure must contain only the characteristics HIER_ID, CDT1
(compare with dictionary structure WISP_CM_HIER_ID_2_CDT1). You do not
need to enter any selection characteristics.
If the planning hierarchy has been maintained to level CDT1 (or
constructed manually and you want to transfer the CDT levels CDT2,
CDT3, CDT4 for a category from the CDT master data hierarchy (this may
be the case, for example, before planning the performance measures for
a category), the hierarchy structure must be made up of exactly these
characteristics (compare with dictionary structure
WISP_CM_CDT2_2_CDT4). The structure of the selection characteristics
consists of the characteristics HIER_ID, CDT1.
If the planning hierarchy is maintained to level CDT4 (or constructed
manually) and you want to transfer the relevant CDT subtree for a
category to the article level from the CDT master data hierarchy (this
may be, for example, before planning the category tactics), the
hierarchy structure must consist of the levels CDT5, CDT6, CDT7, MATNR
(compare with dictionary structure WISP_CM_CDT5_2_MATNR). Selection
characteristics must consist of the characteristics HIER_ID, CDT1, ...,
CDT4.

System Response

If you do not specify a hierarchy structure, the system cannot
construct a planning hierarchy.

How to fix this error?

Specify the name of the dictionary structure, in which the
characteristics of the master data hierarchy that is to be created are
listed.

Procedure for System Administrators
