SAP S/4HANA offers a wide range of hierarchy types within the "Manage Global Hierarchies" app. Here's a list of some common hierarchy types that you can leverage in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC):
Financial Hierarchies:
- G/L Account Hierarchy: Organizes your chart of accounts into a hierarchical structure. This is essential for financial reporting and analysis. (CDS View:
I_GLAccountHierarchy
) - Cost Center Hierarchy: Represents the hierarchical structure of your cost centers. Useful for cost accounting and analysis. (CDS View:
I_CostCenterHierarchy
) - Profit Center Hierarchy: Depicts the hierarchy of your profit centers, facilitating profitability analysis and reporting. (CDS View:
I_ProfitCenterHierarchy
) - Financial Statement Version: Allows you to define different versions of your financial statements (e.g., for different accounting principles or reporting requirements).
Other Common Hierarchies:
- Cost Element Group: Groups cost elements into a hierarchy.
- Funds Center Group: Organizes funds centers hierarchically.
- Liquidity Item Hierarchy: Structures liquidity items for cash flow analysis.
- Functional Area: Represents the hierarchical structure of functional areas within your organization.
- Product Hierarchy: Organizes products into categories and subcategories.
- Customer Hierarchy: Groups customers into different segments or categories.
- Organizational Unit: Represents the hierarchy of organizational units within your company.
Custom Hierarchies:
- In addition to the standard hierarchy types, you can create custom hierarchies in S/4HANA based on your specific needs. This allows you to define hierarchies for any object or dimension relevant to your business.
Accessing Hierarchy Data in SAC:
- As mentioned earlier, you can typically access these hierarchies in SAC using standard CDS views or by creating custom CDS views to extract the data.
Choosing the Right Hierarchy:
- The choice of hierarchy depends on your reporting and analysis requirements in SAC. For example, if you need to analyze financial statements, the G/L Account Hierarchy is crucial. If you're focusing on cost management, the Cost Center Hierarchy would be more relevant.
Remember to check the "Manage Global Hierarchies" app in your S/4HANA system and the SAP documentation for the most up-to-date list of available hierarchy types and their associated CDS views.
