  The SAP error message 1N806: Hierarchy Levels skipped in the input parameters typically occurs when there is an issue with the hierarchy structure in the input parameters of a report or transaction that involves hierarchical data, such as cost centers, profit centers, or other organizational units.
  Cause:
  
  
  Hierarchy Structure Issues: The error usually indicates that the input parameters provided do not match the expected hierarchy levels. This can happen if:
  
  Some levels of the hierarchy are missing in the input.
  The input parameters are not correctly defined or are incomplete.
  The hierarchy has been changed or updated, and the input parameters are outdated.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Input: If the user is trying to input a hierarchy node that does not exist or is not valid for the selected hierarchy, this error can occur.
  
  
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing nodes or incorrect relationships between nodes in the hierarchy.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters: Review the input parameters you are using. Ensure that all required hierarchy levels are included and that they are correctly defined.
  
  
  Validate Hierarchy Structure: Use transaction codes like KSH1 (Create Cost Center Hierarchy) or KSH2 (Change Cost Center Hierarchy) to check the hierarchy structure. Ensure that the nodes you are trying to use in your input exist and are correctly structured.
  
  
  Update Input Data: If the hierarchy has changed, update your input parameters to reflect the current hierarchy structure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input format and hierarchy requirements.
  
  
  Test with Different Parameters: If possible, try running the report or transaction with different parameters to see if the error persists. This can help isolate the issue.
