As per the design of financial reporting structure hierarchy, assignments and items together can't be allowed under one item.

For example, in the respective xml file, Item node contain Item 'Assets' and 'XYZ' (Accounts Assignment) in same hierarchy. Due to that, system didn't allow the import.

The item 'XYZ' should be put under proper node, and then, the Import from Microsoft Excel function should be executed again.
