  This error message is triggered when you attempt to make changes to a hierarchy that is not version-sensitive. In SAP, certain hierarchy structures are designed to be static or fixed, meaning that they do not change based on different versions of data.

  Check Hierarchy Type: Verify if the hierarchy you are trying to modify is indeed version-sensitive. If it is not, you will need to either:
  
  Use a different hierarchy that allows for version-sensitive changes.
  Make your changes in a way that is compatible with the non-version-sensitive hierarchy.
