Question: How do I resolve this error message, “Error creating parent-child relationship. Members in a hierarchy path cannot transition between the current dimension and inherited dimensions more than once”?

Question (cont)

We have an Account Dimension for Actuals that we are extending for Plan.

  • In the extended Plan dimension, we need to use members that are inherited from the ACTUALS dimension.  We need to use some of the Actuals accounts within the Plan data collection. 
  • However, when we try to add relationships within the extended dimension, we get the following error: 
    • “Error creating parent-child relationship. Members in a hierarchy path cannot transition between the current dimension and inherited dimensions more than once”.

 

Answer

  • This error will occur if you are attempting to share inherited PARENT members. 
  • You need to add relationships with the inherited base members instead.
