  Review Hierarchies: Check the existing hierarchies in the system to see if there are unnecessary or redundant hierarchies that can be removed or consolidated.
  Adjust Configuration: If possible, adjust the configuration settings to allow for a higher number of hierarchies to be displayed. This may involve changing parameters in the customizing settings of SAP CRM.
  Filter or Limit Data: Implement filters or criteria to limit the number of hierarchies being processed or displayed at one time. This can help manage the volume of data and avoid hitting the display limit.
