WBS Hierarchy Inconsistency Error in "BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN.

[former_member766437]

HI Friends,

I am facing the Error "The Transferred Hierarchy is inconsistent" while using BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN.

Please help me finding out where is the issue and rectify it . Thanks in advance.

Here is the sample code below :

lv_refno = 1.
wa_projmethod-objecttype = 'WBS-Element'.
wa_projmethod-method = 'Create'.
wa_projmethod-objectkey = lv_topwbs.
wa_projmethod-refnumber = lv_refno.
APPEND wa_projmethod TO it_projmethod.
CLEAR wa_projmethod.

lv_refno = lv_refno + 1.
wa_projmethod-objecttype = 'WBS-Element'.
wa_projmethod-method = 'Create'.
wa_projmethod-objectkey = lv_wbs.
wa_projmethod-refnumber = lv_refno.
APPEND wa_projmethod TO it_projmethod.
CLEAR wa_projmethod.

wa_projmethod-objectkey = '2022001'.
wa_projmethod-refnumber = lv_refno.
APPEND wa_projmethod TO it_projmethod.
CLEAR wa_projmethod.
**Set correct WBS Hierarchy

** Set BAPI Trigger to save and wait

wa_projmethod-objecttype = space.

Are you just adding WBS to a project, in this case consider using BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI.

I added the ABAP tag. What error have you found during debugging?

"The Transferred Hierarchy is inconsistent" in Messages Table.

I think you will have to debug it line by line to see where creating the hierarchy is failing .
