  Specify Parent Fields: If there are multiple parent fields, explicitly specify which parent field should be used for the variable in question.
  Adjust Hierarchies: If the issue is related to multiple hierarchies, consider adjusting the hierarchies or the way they are used in the query to eliminate ambiguity.
  Test with Different Variables: If possible, test the query with different variables to see if the issue persists, which can help isolate the problem.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on handling parent-child relationships and variable restrictions.
