  4. See it is not possible to create a sub-node, so create a node on the same level. Create a node anyway

Cause

It is not possible to create a subordinate node under an existing node, if the existing node has accounts assigned to it. This is due to the fact any given node can either have subordinate nodes assigned to it or accounts assigned to it. The combination is not possible.

Resolution

The system behaves as expected. If, however, you were to first remove the accounts assigned to the desired parent node, you could then create subordinate nodes.
