Definition

With this indicator, you determine that the hierarchy for the characteristic supports different versions.

Example

Within the framework of a district restructuring for your enterprise, you can create different versions of hierarchies for the characteristic 'main district' and compare these with each other in a query.

Hierarchy version PLAN Hierarchy version ACTUAL

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

If different hierarchy versions occur in the source system, you can map them in BW.
