KCH2 PROFIT CENTRE GROUP CTREATION

[JAMESNHANDO]

Hi All

I am trying to create a PC group in KCH2 but I am getting this error - 'function is not allowed in the standard hierarchy' - this is all in ECC and I must add I have been able to create other mappings of PC groups

Thanks for your help

James

Hi James,

The error "Function is not allowed in the standard hierarchy" in KCH2 (Profit Center Group Creation) usually occurs when you try to modify the Standard Hierarchy instead of creating a new Profit Center Group. In ECC, the Standard Hierarchy is predefined and maintained through Transaction KCH1 (not KCH2).

Possible Solutions:

Ensure You're Not Modifying the Standard Hierarchy: Use KCH1 for standard hierarchy changes and KCH2 for creating custom Profit Center Groups.
Check Authorization: Ensure you have the required authorization object (K_HIER_BUK) to modify Profit Center hierarchies.
Verify Profit Center Assignment: If a Profit Center is already assigned to another hierarchy, you may need to remove it first.
Use Transaction KCH3: To view existing hierarchies and confirm their structure before making changes.

The part "Check Authorization" of your answer is not relevant, but it's typical from GenAI answers. If you used it, add a warning as explained in https://pages.community.sap.com/resources/rules-of-engagement: "If you want to publish content that was helped/created by GenAI, you must add the user tag GenAI Assisted Content. For content where it's not possible to add a user tag (e.g., answers), you must include this statement: "GenAI was used to help generate this content." Apologies if you didn't (humans start thinking like GenAI then...)

Basically you are prevented to do some 'errors' by 1697549 - KSH2: Group with values is deleted from standard hierarchy
