 Hierarchy Assignments in Single-Object Processing

 

In Master Data Governance for Financials and in Master Data Governance for Custom Objects, you can create or remove the assignments of just one business object to one or more hierarchies in Single-Object Processing (USMD_OVP_GEN). For example, while you create or edit an airline in single-object processing, you can assign it to one or more airline alliances in a hierarchy.

Process

Requestor

  1. Create or edit a business object from the search.

  2. Assign the business object to a hierarchy. In the initial screen, you can type either the Parent Node by itself or the Parent Node and the Previous Node. Alternatively, you can search for the location in the hierarchy into which you want to insert the node, by clicking the New pushbutton, which opens up a new dialog box. To search for a point of insertion, proceed as follows:

    1. Search for attributes either of the desired parent node or of a desired adjacent node. .

    2. Scroll or choose the Next Match pushbutton until you have found the part of the hierarchy into which you want to insert the node. Select a node and then choose either the Insert as Subnode pushbutton (to assign the node as the first subnode of a selected parent node) or the Insert as Next Node pushbutton (to assign the node immediately after the selected node).

  3. Save changes. The status of the change request is now Changes to be Executed. After making the assignment, related nodes are interlocked. For more information, see Define Scope for Changes.
