This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with master data, planning, or reporting in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy ID: The hierarchy that is being referenced does not have a corresponding ID in the system. This could be due to data inconsistencies or incomplete data uploads.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes made to the hierarchy structure, it is possible that some entries were not properly updated or created.
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the hierarchy from being recognized correctly.
