Fund Centre Set Hierarchy

Question

Problem when attempting to update the Fund Centre hierarchy to include new fund centres in the report painter reports.
I am using transaction FMRP_FC_SET_HIER program RFFM_CREATE_FC_SET_HIER with options, set hierarchy type = Fund centre group hierarchy and conflicting set handling = Overwrite the whole hierarchy. The message received is
"Conflicting set found - hierarchy not created".
Sets with same name exist in another hierarchy
Message no. SETHIER000
Diagnosis
One or more sets that you want to create already exist in the database (same name, same class), and are located in hierarchies other than the one being created.
A set hierarchy is identified by the name and class of the uppermost set record. You can only override a conflicting set hierarchy by defining a set hierarchy with the same uppermost set record.
System response
The requested set hierarchy is not created, and the conflicting sets already in the database are not modified.
Procedure
Use transaction SE16 to identify the conflicting set elements in table SETHEADER, using one of the following two options:
1. If a set is no longer needed, you should delete it, for example, using a report to delete the entire set hierarchy in all relevant tables, so that no "orphaned" sets remain. Then run the report again to create the set hierarchy.
2. You can decide not to override the conflicting sets, but instead to change the name of the sets being created by modifying the prefix in the selection screen. This will however only work for a "General Set Hierarchy", not for a "Group Set Hierarchy".
Can someone explain in detail how to perform option 1?
The top nodes in the 2 conflicting hierarchies are 4BFC_000_0000 and a hierarchy seemingly set up as a general set hierarchy 4BFC_MCC1_000_0000.

Hi Kate,
Using Tcode GS01, you can create a set hierarchy
Say you want to extract an existing hierarchy from an SAP R/3 system and load it into BW so you can present your reports in a hierarchical way. For example, by loading a cost center hierarchy into BW, you could show expenses at the top node and then drill down to the lower nodes to see the details.
Although standard Business Content extractors support main hierarchies (e.g., cost center, general ledger [G/L] account, material, plant, work center), they do not support all hierarchies in the R/3 source system, such as Treasury Cash Management. In this case, SAP does not provide a standard DataSource to link R/3 hierarchies to BW.
So what are your options? In my example of working in Treasury Cash Management, you could define hierarchies for planning levels and create your own ABAP program to extract the data from R/3, send it to a flat file, then upload the flat file into BW via a custom DataSource, a multistep process. This is what I call the “traditional” method.
I developed a workaround that allows you to bypass the step of creating a flat file and extract directly from R/3 in a single step, like any Business Content DataSource. My workaround combines two different standard SAP mechanisms: the generation of a hierarchy DataSource on the R/3 IMG side and the user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 on the R/3 side. I tested this workaround with BW 3.5 and plug-in (PI) 2004-1, but it also works with BW 2.0B with PI 2002-1 and later.
