Documentation
Definition
With this indicator, you determine that the entire hierarchy is time-dependent.
Example
Within the framework of a district restructuring for your enterprise, you can make the hierarchy for the characteristic 'main district' time-dependent so as to compare the restructuring in a query at different times with each other.
Hierarchy 01.01.99 - 31.05.99 Hierarchy 01.06.99 - 31.12.99
Main district NORTH Main district NORTH
District 1 District 2
District 2
Main district SOUTH Main 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 under the respective InfoObject together with the respective 'to date'.
