Creating Account Hierarchies 
Use
Relationships can exist between accounts in the form of a hierarchy, which you can show in a tree structure.
You can create any types of hierarchies. In the standard system, the hierarchy types for cash concentration and interest compensation are used, but you can also create other hierarchy types, for example, for information purposes.
A hierarchy consists of a root account, for which n subordinate accounts can exist. You can also assign n subordinate accounts to each of these subordinate accounts. The number of hierarchy levels depends on the hierarchy type.
Relationships within the hierarchy are always valid for a certain time period. You specify this when you create the hierarchy. To ensure clarity, an account may exist only in one hierarchy at any given time, and within one hierarchy type.
Within the hierarchy it is possible for accounts to belong to different bank areas, provided these are internally managed accounts. You can only use external accounts as a root account. You can manage the accounts in different currencies, provided the currency is one participating in the EURO changeover. You can impose restrictions for every hierarchy type, for example, to prevent your employees from using any cross-bank area accounts.
