Editing the Standard Hierarchy (SAP Library - Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA))

Editing the Standard Hierarchy

Use

You use the enterprise organization maintenance screen to display or edit your standard hierarchy.

The maintenance screen is divided into different areas, each of which covers particular functions:

The combination of search area and selection area is called the Object Manager.

To display individual areas more clearly, you can hide other areas of the screen.

To make the remaining areas of the screen larger, you can display/hide the Object Manager.
If you display large lists in the selection area, you can hide the search area. To do so, choose Result list large/small.
If you are processing large structures in the overview area, you can hide the detail area. To do so, click the pushbutton above the detail area.

Each time you start the functions belonging to enterprise organization, the system automatically calls up the data that you last processed and uses the size settings from your last session for the screen areas.
