  Adjust Hierarchy Levels: If you find that multiple nodes are assigned to the same level, you will need to adjust the hierarchy. Move one of the nodes to a different level to resolve the conflict.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or constraints that are causing the nodes to be incorrectly assigned. Review the characteristics and dependencies associated with the nodes.
  Use Configuration Tools: Utilize SAP's configuration tools to visualize the hierarchy and make adjustments as needed. This can help in identifying where the conflict is occurring.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up variant configuration models correctly.
