How to address 'Hierarchy ID' problem in erp d356 f&o, while creating WBS ?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Hey All,

I'm trying to create WBS Form inside a project in the Project management and accounting module. But once i create WBS directly from (Project management and accounting>setup>projects>Work breakdown structure templates) i click new but once i try to create the WBS there's some pop-up message {Field 'Hierarchy ID' must be filled in.} . Also, when i click on the project and try to create WBS from the activity in the action pane, another pop-op message {Activities cannot be created when the number sequence for the hierarchy ID is set to Manual. Change the number sequence value on the Number sequence references form.} . Also, i've tried to create WBS form the Project management section, and it open the form but i can't add any tasks.

Do you know what is the problem? or how to configure the set up tp solve it? 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Salshaw749,

    You asked the question about the Hierarchy ID number sequence before. Ensure you have a number sequence setup. On the legal entity details, there is a fast tab for Number sequences. The number sequence for Hierarchy ID, Element number and activity number are to be filled in. Also the other number sequences should be setup per legal entity.
