  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_AUX_020001 with the description "Select a node from the lowest hierarchy level" typically occurs in the context of using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. This error indicates that the user is trying to select a node in a hierarchical structure that is not at the lowest level, which is required for the operation being performed.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Select the Correct Node: Ensure that you are selecting a node that is at the lowest level of the hierarchy. Review the hierarchy structure and choose the appropriate node.
  Review Data Mapping: Check the data mapping in your LSMW project to ensure that it aligns with the expected hierarchy. Make sure that the source data corresponds to the correct nodes in the target system.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your LSMW project. Ensure that the project is set up correctly to handle the data you are trying to import.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to LSMW and the specific data structure you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected hierarchy and how to navigate it.
  Testing: If possible, perform a test run with a smaller dataset to ensure that the hierarchy is being processed correctly before attempting a full migration.
