KPIs were calculated using the hierarchy data for the item

What causes this issue?

You entered information for alternate selection via the material
hierarchy. The system could not determine any valid nodes in the
material hierarchy from this information, however. As a result, it used
the material hierarchy data from the allocation table item to access the
query in the SAP BW.
