Creating Hierarchies
By using the hierarchy tool, you can create a hierarchy for any data element (such as, customer, vendor, material, plant, etc.). A hierarchy consists of nodes and sub-nodes. Any node may have other nodes. The lowest level consists of sub-nodes.
The sub-nodes are, as a rule, objects or characteristic values that already exist in the system. The key figures are then cumulated for these characteristic values and are then provided in cumulated form in the standard analyses for each of the hierarchical levels.
You create the material hierarchy "bicycles". This hierarchy has the following structure and nodes: Ladies bicycles, men’s bicycles, children’s bicycles.
Allocate the node racing bicycle to the ladies bicycles.
Then allocate the separate material numbers of the racing bicycles (sub-node) to the racing bicycles. You can then display the key figure ‘lead time’ for every hierarchical level in the Shop Floor Information System in the standard analyses.
To display general hierarchies, proceed as follows:
1. From the information system menu, select Environment
® General hierarchy ® Create.
The initial screen appears.
2. In the field Hierarchy name, specify the name of the hierarchy. Also provide a short description of the hierarchy.
3. In the field Data element, specify the name of the data element to which the hierarchy will refer.
You want to create a material hierarchy. The data element for material is MATNR.
If you do not know the name of the data element which refers to the hierarchy, use the possible entries key. A dialog box will appear in which all of the information structures for the applications will appear. Position the cursor on the desired information structure and choose the function Select. A list of the information structure data elements for the hierarchy will appear. You can then select from this list the desired data element.
4. Press
Enter .
The definition screen will appear. The hierarchy name will be displayed. From this screen you can now plan your hierarchy.
Functions for Processing the Hierarchy
When creating/changing a hierarchy, the following processing functions can be used.
Creating nodes/sub-nodes
You can create any node or sub-node. Nodes and sub-nodes are displayed in different colors.
Place the cursor on the node for which you want to create other nodes or sub-nodes and select Process ® Create node.
A dialog box with entry field will appear. If you press Enter the entered value will be copied into the hierarchy.
Use Create Edit ® Create .
Validity period
You can determine a validity period for the entire hierarchy as well as for each node and for each sub-node. The hierarchy or the sub-tree of the hierarchy is then valid for this time period. This function is particularly suitable when using the function Reference. You can, for example, allocate certain sub-trees to another node and determine when this sub-tree should be valid for this node.
You have created a hierarchy for the purchasing organization. You want to allocate the node "Berlin" to the node "North" as of 7 January 1996. You specify for the node Berlin a validity period that begins on 7/1/96.
Beginning 1/1/97, you plan a restructuring of the purchasing organizations. The node ‘Berlin’ is to be allocated to the node ‘North/East’ starting on this date. You create a reference of the node ‘Berlin’ to the node ‘North/East’ and save a validity period with this reference that begins on 1/1/97.
If you want to save a validity period for a hierarchy or a portion of a hierarchy, proceed as follows.
Place the cursor on the area for which the validity period is to apply and select
Process ® Assign date.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter the beginning and ending date of the validity period. The validity period is shown behind the selected hierarchy level.
Rename
You can rename the individual nodes and sub-nodes. Place the cursor on the desired node or sub-node and select Process ® Rename. A dialog box appears where you can enter the new name.
Delete
To delete nodes or sub-nodes from the hierarchy, place the cursor on the node or sub-node that you want to delete and select Process ® Delete.
Define section
If you want to process only a particular section of the hierarchy, you can switch to a display form, where only a section of the entire hierarchy will be displayed.
Place the cursor on the hierarchical level that is to be displayed and select
Process ® Define section. Only the selected sub-tree will be displayed. On the upper edge of the screen the name of the hierarchy and the hierarchy tree will be displayed.
If you want to switch over to another section (another sub-tree or entire hierarchy), place the cursor in the header portion of the window on the name of the sub-tree to which you want to switch and select Process ® Define section.
Select sub-tree
You can select sub-trees (nodes, sub-nodes). Place the cursor on the node or sub-node that is to be selected and select Process ® Select sub-tree +/-. To undo a selection, carry out this activity again.
Transfer
You can only transfer marked nodes or sub-nodes. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Mark the sub-tree that you want to transfer.
2. Place the cursor on the node to which the selected sub-tree is to be moved.
3. Select Process
® Transfer.
A dialog box will appear. There, you can specify whether the selected sub-tree should be inserted on the same level or subordinate.
