    Study Notes

    Global Hierarchies

    • Global hierarchies are centrally managed in the "Manage Global Hierarchies" app.
    • Hierarchies can be created, copied, imported (from worksheet files like Excel), and exported.
    • SAP S/4HANA hierarchies can be imported as nodes into consolidation hierarchies (e.g., profit centers).
    • Global hierarchies are stored centrally and used by Fiori analytical apps at runtime.
    • Hierarchies support various master data objects (bank accounts, cost centers, profit centers, functional areas, financial statement versions, products, consolidation objects).

    Key Benefits of Global Hierarchies

    • Unified hierarchy maintenance for diverse master data.
    • Time-dependent hierarchies allow for changes in hierarchy structure over time, reflected in reports.
    • Single dashboard for managing hierarchies.
    • Global hierarchies facilitate both legal and management consolidation reporting.
    • Users can create multiple hierarchies for the same dimension (e.g., legal & management consolidation roll-ups for consolidation units).
    • Matrix-like reporting is possible with hierarchies of different dimensions (e.g., consolidation unit by region vs. profit center by line of business).

    Reporting Item Hierarchies

    • Reporting item hierarchies are also possible, enabling selection criteria for data (FS items, consolidation units, document types, subitems).
    • Reporting item values are calculated at report runtime.
    • There are five pre-built reporting item hierarchies: X1 (Equity), X2 (Cash Flow), X3 (Comprehensive Income), X4 (P&L by Function), and X5 (IC Reconciliation).

    Matrix Elimination Report

    • Matrix Elimination reports show data for organizational units (consolidation units, profit centers, segments) that have been eliminated and consolidated hierarchically.
    • Elimination is indicated using a hierarchical leaf structure ending with "_ELIM".
