How to create alternative WBS hierarchy?

[ramunas_daminaitis2]

I have Projects with 4 level structure:

1 Project

2 Group of deliverables

3 Deliverable category

4 Deliverable

Deliverables are grouped according customer Schedule, sometimes the Schedule changes and typically wbs of lewel 4 is moved to another Group of deliverebles, however this is not possible if budget is allready allocated and actual cost exist, thus I'm thinking of alternative hierarchy, which I could change more flexibly and view Financial information accordingly. Please suggest best practice for such requirements, if alternative hierarchy is not solution

Hi Ramunas,

Have a look at transaction KKR0, you can maintain hierarchies for summarization reports, also classification characteristics can be used in the summarizations.  But you probably need to identify first a formal logic. 

It is not something flexible where you can build an hierarchy manually and rearrange it. Normally it will be based on some master data field.  In some standard reporting you can take a view based on the Cost Center Hierarchy or Person Responsible (check DB profiles).
