• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCERTOB002 - Functional location &1 is not a highest-level location ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCERTOB002 Functional location &1 is not a highest-level location typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Asset Management when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a functional location to be a highest-level location, but the specified functional location is not.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Issue: The functional location you are trying to use is not the highest-level location in its hierarchy. In SAP, functional locations are organized in a hierarchical structure, and certain operations require that the functional location be at the top of that hierarchy.
  Incorrect Selection: You may have selected a functional location that is a sub-location rather than a top-level location.
  Data Integrity: There may be issues with the data integrity of the functional location hierarchy, such as missing or incorrectly defined parent-child relationships.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Functional Location Hierarchy:
  
  Navigate to the functional location in the SAP system and check its position in the hierarchy. You can do this using transaction code IL03 (Display Functional Location).
  Ensure that the functional location you are trying to use is indeed a highest-level location.
  
  
  
  Select the Correct Functional Location:
  
  If you need to perform an operation that requires a highest-level functional location, select the appropriate top-level functional location from the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Adjust Functional Location Structure:
  
  If you need to change the hierarchy, you may need to adjust the functional location structure. This can be done using transaction code IL02 (Change Functional Location) to modify the parent-child relationships.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on functional location hierarchies and their requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify functional locations.
