  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy: The primary cause of this error is that the hierarchy for the specified planning object (e.g., a characteristic or dimension) is not maintained in the system.
  Incorrect Planning Session Configuration: The planning session may not be correctly configured to reference the required hierarchy.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as the addition or removal of characteristics, can lead to inconsistencies if the hierarchies are not updated accordingly.

  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSH1 for maintaining hierarchies) and ensure that the hierarchy for the specified planning object is created and active.

  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user executing the planning session has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy.
  Check the authorization objects related to the planning area and hierarchy.
