Selecting Subhierarchies in Hierarchy Maintenance 

Use

This function makes maintenance of particularly large funds center/commitment item hierarchies easier and clearer.

Features

A number of options are available for processing subhierarchies in an FM area: You choose which one you want to use in the hierarchy maintenance request screen.

  1. Choose Select subtrees.

    2. This accesses the Funds Center Hierarchy or Commitment Item Hierarchy. The system displays all the roots from the whole hierarchy. By double clicking "+" you can expand the subhierarchies further. Choose the top funds centers or commitment items from the subtrees whose funds centers and commitment items you want to process in the hierarchy graphic. Choose Continue. You can then use the hierarchy graphic to process all the funds centers or commitment items subordinate to the top funds center/commitment item you selected.

  2. You enter the name of the top funds center from a subhierarchy in the Top center/Top item field, then choose Choose subtrees .

    3. In the Funds Center Hierarchy/Commitment Item Hierarchy screen, you can only choose the subtrees subordinate to this center/item for processing in the hierarchy graphic.

  3. You enter the name of the top funds center from a subhierarchy in the Top center/Top item field, then choose Continue .

This brings you to the graphics editor where you can edit all the subhierarchies or funds centers below the top funds center/commitment item you specified.
