Title
Insert Hierarchies in Master Data Template Categories

Purpose
Enhances the maintenance of master data templates with transactionEPDTYPE. Enables you to simultaneously insert new hierarchy nodes inseveral initial master data template categories.

Features

Example
Example:

• You have the initial template categories TYP_A and TYP_B.


• Only these two initial template categories have the lower-level master
data template category TYP_Y assigned in their hierarchies.

• You have created the new master data template category TYP_Y_NEW and
want to insert it everywhere where TYP_Y is assigned in the hierarchy.
Diagram of the hierarchy of Typ_A and Typ_B:
TYP_A
------TYP X
------TYP_Y
------------TYP_Y1
------------TYP_Y2
TYP_B
------TYP_Y
------------TYP_Y1
------------TYP_Y2
------TYP Z
You now start this report with the following data:

• Initial template category : no
restriction

• Category of higher-level node : TYP_Y


• Category of lower-level node : TYP_Y_NEU


• Optional alias name of position where node is to be inserted: TYP_Y1

Result: the report creates two new hierarchy nodes. The hierarchy nowlooks like this:
TYP_A
------TYP X
------TYP_Y
------------TYP_Y1
------------TYP_Y_NEW
------------TYP_Y2
TYP_B
------TYP_Y
------------TYP_Y1
------------TYP_Y_NEW
------------TYP_Y2
------TYP_Z
Notes:

• If you do not assign the new node a different name, the system uses the
alias name of the sub-node category. In the above example, this wouldbe TYP_Y_NEW.

• If you do not specify an optional alias name for the position where the
node is to be inserted, the system inserts the node at the end (in theabove example behined TYP_2).

• You can use the selection criteria of the initial template category for
the restrictions. If, in the above example, you specify the value TYP_Aas the initial template category, the hierarchy of TYP_B is notenhanced.
