  Incorrect Hierarchy Name: The name of the hierarchy specified in the query or report may be incorrect or misspelled.

  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Hierarchy: If the hierarchy does not exist, you need to create it in the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance screen.
  Select the InfoObject and navigate to the "Hierarchies" tab.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the hierarchy was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported and that all objects related to the hierarchy are present and activated.
  
  
  Rebuild the Hierarchy: If there are issues with the hierarchy, you may need to delete and recreate it.
