Specifically, it means that the material hierarchy specified (denoted by &1) is not active, which prevents the extraction process from proceeding.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Material Hierarchy: The material hierarchy you are trying to use for extraction is not active in the system. This could be due to it being deactivated or not properly set up.
