This error typically arises when you are trying to define or configure a transportation hierarchy, and the system detects that the same hierarchy type has been entered multiple times, which is not allowed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the transportation hierarchy and check for any duplicate entries of the hierarchy type. Ensure that each hierarchy type is defined only once.
  Remove Duplicates: If you find duplicate entries, remove the unnecessary ones to ensure that each hierarchy type is unique.
  Review Data Entries: If the error occurs during data entry, review the entries you are making to ensure that you are not trying to add the same hierarchy type multiple times.
