Characteristics Hierarchies, Reporting, and Line Item Lists 

Purpose

In Profitability Analysis, you can create hierarchical structures for any single characteristic for analysis purposes.

In this process, you display a hierarchy of sales employees and then call up this hierarchy in a report where you can use special drilldown functions. The display options and functions offered by the line item list are also demonstrated. Then you define a separate hierarchy for the different sales regions and include these hierarchies in a report.

For more information on reporting, see the documentation on Creating a Basic Report in Profitability Analysis and Executing an Existing Report in CO-PA.
