Description

The standard hierarchy is a tree structure which displays the organization of all the profit centers in one
controlling area. The structural elements in the standard hierarchy are the profit center area and the
summarization area. The profit center area is an end point in the tree structure which is not at the top and
can have profit centers assigned to it when you maintain the standard hierarchy. The summarization area
is used to summarize the data on the profit centers beneath it, although it does not itself contain any profit
centers. Each profit center must be assigned to a node in the standard hierarchy for its controlling area.
This ensures that the standard hierarchy contains all the profit centers in the controlling area. Choose a
node on the lowest level of the standard hierarchy and assign the profit center to it.
