Structure view "Profit center hierarchy" for Information system

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

The structure view "Profit center hierarchy" is not available in standard system. I have created a new key with assignement of PS Hierarchy type '2'.

But iam getting below message when I use this new structure view:

Alternative hierarchy could not be determined

Message no. OK032

Diagnosis

You attempted to structure your project elements according to an alternative hierarchy (profit center, cost center or summarization hierarchy). The alternative hierarchy could not be read.

System Response

The system uses the "Work breakdown structure" view.

Ok lets start from basics

go to CN41 and enter a project with std PS info profile 000000000000001

if you click o the DB profile you will have basic setting 000000000000001 etc

this gives us the project structure

Now in transaction OPUR create a view for PC hierarchy

Z00000000001 - whatever description

select PS hier type 2 - Profit Ctr via set

I think you have done this

In this configuration there is a group name - you need to enter the profit centre hierarchy group name from your system

this group must exist in your system check using transaction KCH3 to display group - if this is not entered correctly you will get the exact error you have got - I have been able to replicate in my system

Now run CN41 change DB profile project view from 00000000001 to Z0000000001
