Hierarchies are used to describe hierarchical relationships between objects (hierarchy nodes).

Master data hierarchies are used to display the hierarchical relationship between existing master data objects. The (hierarchy) objects in these master data hierarchies are

• Location
• Product
• Location product
• Resource
• PPM

The master data hierarchy is based on a hierarchy structure. This structure specifies the master data and number of levels in the hierarchy.

You can define master data hierarchies for the master data: product, location product, location, and resource. These hierarchies are defined in Customizing, under Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) ® Master Data ® Define Hierarchy Structure or Define Hierarchy.
