• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XC353 - Hghr-lev. node: &1, low.-lev. node: &2, hier. level of low.-lev. node: &3 ?

  The SAP error message XC353 typically relates to issues with hierarchical data structures, particularly in the context of master data or organizational structures. The message indicates a problem with the hierarchical relationship between nodes in a hierarchy, where the high-level node and low-level node do not align correctly according to the defined hierarchy levels.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure Issues: The error often arises when there is a mismatch in the expected hierarchy levels. For example, the low-level node may not be correctly assigned under the high-level node, or the hierarchy levels may not be properly defined.
  Data Integrity Problems: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the hierarchy tables.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the hierarchy management or master data settings can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Review the configuration of the hierarchy in the relevant SAP module (e.g., SAP Master Data, SAP Organizational Management). Ensure that the hierarchy levels are correctly defined and that the relationships between nodes are valid.
  Validate Data Entries: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check the relevant tables for the hierarchy. Look for any inconsistencies or missing entries that could be causing the error.
  Adjust Node Relationships: If you identify that the low-level node is incorrectly assigned, you may need to reassign it to the correct high-level node or adjust the hierarchy levels accordingly.
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage hierarchies, such as OOCU (for Organizational Units) or similar, to make necessary adjustments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing hierarchies in the relevant module.
