Maintaining Hierarchies in Production?

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can someone tell me if it is possible/Okay to maintain to create a new heierarchy in production directly or is it to be transported?

Thanks!

Yes, thats very much possible, unless the hierarchy is being loaded.

This is pretty much like master data. As we can create master data directly in production, similar is the case with hierarchy creation.

Only change that may not be possible, if the system is locked, is in terms of hierarchy properties, such as type, intervals usage and external chars, as this would involve change to info object.

Thanks for the reply. I have to create same hierarchy structure of text nodes and characteristic nodes but for a different Controlling area.

If I try to copy it from an existing hierarchy, it does not allow me to change the controlling area.

Do you know how I can save time by not having to create each and every node for the new Hierarchy?

Thanks again!

Create them in production. Most of the time, you cannot create them in DEV because either the hierarchy doesn't exist in R/3 dev or there isn't quality data to make what you are looking for.
