You can do this by navigating through the hierarchy in the relevant SAP transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like PPOCE for organizational structures).
  
  
  Select Correct Parent Node: If you find that the selected parent node is indeed from a different tree, select the correct parent node that belongs to the same hierarchy as the child node.
