Processing the Hierarchy ID

Use

The hierarchy ID defines a complete hierarchy of nodes. If you work with Funds Management account assignment elements (FMAA elements) with the multi-level role “constant”, you have to assign each hierarchy ID to one of these constant FMAA elements.

Note Note

If no FMAA element was defined with the role “constant” for your specified FM area and budget structure, you can only define one hierarchy ID for the specified FM area and budget structure.

End of the note.

You can use this program (transaction FMHIE_HIEID) to create new hierarchy IDs or display, change, or delete existing ones.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

  1. In the Accounting part of the Easy Access menu, choose Start of the navigation path Public Sector Management Next navigation step Funds Management Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Use of Account Assignment Elements Next navigation step Budget Control System (BCS) Next navigation step Budget Structure Next navigation step Multi-Level Budget Structure Next navigation step Process Hierarchy ID. End of the navigation path

  2. Enter the FM area and a multi-level budget structure.

  3. Enter the fiscal year and the budget category.

  4. To change or display an existing hierarchy ID, enter the desired hierarchy ID in the corresponding field, or press the F4 help button to search for existing hierarchy IDs. Then choose Change or Display .

  5. In change mode, you can change the hierarchy ID text, budget address definition rule, posting address definition rule and the assignment of Constant Budget Address Elements.

  6. If you are creating a new hierarchy ID, enter a new name for the hierarchy ID. Then click Create .

  7. In the next screen Create and Assign Hierarchy ID , enter a text for the hierarchy ID, budget address definition rule, and posting address definition rule; and then assign Constant Budget Address Elements for the hierarchy ID.

  8. Save the new or modified hierarchy ID.

Checking for consistency when processing a hierarchy ID:

When making adjustments to pre-existing multi-level budget structures, you can activate checks which will alert you to any inconsistencies arising from the changes you make. For more information on activating consistency checks for multi-level budget structure changes, see Using Consistency Checks with Multi-Level Budget Structures .
