Purpose
On any key date, you can generate the followinghierarchies for a controlling area from the organizational structure:standard hierarchy, alternative hierarchy.
Prerequisites
You have defined the fiscal year interval in which the objects in therelevant hierarchy are to be valid. This time intervalcontrols which objects are contained in the relevanthierarchy.
Activities
1. Enter the key date on which the hierarchy is to be generated.
,,The system proposes the current date. You can, however, overwrite thisvalue.
2. If you want to generate a CO alternative hierarchy, assigna suffix to the hierarchy.
,,Note: only standard hierarchies can have a name without a suffix.
3. If you want to replace the standard hierarchy with an alternativehierarchy:
,,a) Enter the name of the alternative hierarchy that is to become thestandard hierarchy
,,Note: when this new standard hierarchy is generated, the systemautomatically removes the suffix from the ,,name.
,,b) Assign a suffix to the old standard hierarchy
,,This hierarchy becomes an alternative hierarchy.
4. Specify whether the hierarchy is to be generated for cost centers orprofit centers.
5. Specify whether the generation is first to be carried out as a testrun.
6. Choose Execute.
Note:
You should generate large hierarchies in thebackground by choosingProgram -> Execute in Background.
If large hierarchies are generated online,processing may be terminated as a result of a timeout.
