  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Mapping: Review the mapping of hierarchy IDs in your migration plan. Ensure that all old hierarchy IDs are correctly mapped to their new counterparts.
  Update Migration Data: If the hierarchy ID has been replaced, update your migration data to reflect the new hierarchy ID. This may involve modifying the data files or transformation rules used in the migration.
  Data Validation: Perform a validation of the data before migration to ensure that all references to hierarchy IDs are valid and consistent with the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or migration guides specific to your version and module to understand the expected hierarchy structures and any changes that may have occurred.
  Testing: Conduct thorough testing in a development or sandbox environment to ensure that the migration process works as expected without triggering this error.
