Documentation
Definition
The standard hierarchy is a tree structure which displays the organization of all the profit centers in one controlling area.
The structural elements in the standard hierarchy are the profit center area and the summarization area.
The profit center area is an end point in the tree structure which is not at the top and can have profit centers assigned to it when you maintain the standard hierarchy.
The summarization area is used to summarize the data on the profit centers beneath it, although it does not itself contain any profit centers.
By definition, the system always regards the profit center hierarchy which was entered when the controlling area was created as the standard hierarchy.
Supplementary Documentation - PHINR 1000
Use
Each profit center must be assigned to a node in the standard hierarchy for its controlling area. This ensures that the standard hierarchy contains all the profit centers in the controlling area.
Procedure
Choose a node on the lowest level of the standard hierarchy and assign the profit center to it.
Examples
Dependencies
Before you can assign profit centers, you need to create the standard hierarchy for the controlling area using the function "Master data -> Standard hierarchy" in Customizing.
Supplementary Documentation - PHINR 2000
Use
When you maintain the settings for a controlling area, you must enter the name of the standard hierarchy for the profit centers assigned to that controlling area.
When you create a profit center, you must assign it to an end node of the standard hierarchy. This ensures that the standard hierarchy contains all the profit centers in the controlling area.
Procedure
Enter a valid name for the standard hierarchy. The standard hierarchy must have a different name for each controlling area.
Once you have saved the settings for the controlling area, you still need to create the standard hierarchy in EC-PCA Customizing.
