Definition

Using this indicator you determine that the entire hierarchy is time-dependent.

Example

You can make the hierarchy time-dependent for the characteristic 'chief district' within the framework of your enterprise so as to compare with each other the restructuring at different times in a query.

Hierarchy 01.01.99 - 31.05.99 Hierarchy 01.06.99 - 31.12.99

Chief district NORTH Chief district NORTH
District 1 District 2
District 2

Chief district SOUTH Chief district SOUTH
District 3 District 1
District 4 District 3
District 4

The respective valid hierarchy is uniquely identified by the technical name and the 'from - to date'. The created time-dependent hierarchies are displayed in the InfoObject tree underneath the respective InfoObject together with the respective 'to date'.
