 Hierarchy Assignments in Collective Processing

 

In the hierarchy view of the Collective Processing (USMD-ENTITY) Web Dynpro application, you can visualize and change the structure of a hierarchy and the master data objects belonging to the hierarchy. The requestor requests changes and the approver approves changes.

Process

Requestor

  1. Open the hierarchy and search for the relevant part of the hierarchy.

    1. You can open the Hierarchy View of the Collective Processing WebDynpro application in the following ways:

      • In the Collective Processing (USMD_ENTITY) WebDynpro application, specify the relevant fields for the hierarchy, and choose the Hiearchy View.

      • In the Generic Search (USMD_SEARCH) WebDynpro application, search for a business object that is represented as a node in the hierarchy, select the relevant row from the results list, and choose the Hierarchy Processing pushbutton. For more information, see Search Business Object.

    2. If you opened the Collective Processing (USMD_ENTITY) application directly, search for the relevant part of the hierarchy. If you opened the application from the Generic Search (USMD_SEARCH) application, the correct part of the hierarchy is already highlighted.

  2. Restructure the hierarchy by inserting and removing nodes where necessary.

  3. Save your changes to a new change request or to an existing change request.

    The status of the change request changes to Final Check to be Performed.

The graphic below illustrates the process.

Approver

  1. Open the change request for a hierarchy change.

  2. Review the details of the changed nodes.

    1. Reference the change request header to identify who changed which node when.

    2. Open the changed nodes in the context of the hierarchy.

  3. Approve or reject changes. The status of the change request changes to Final Check Approved or Final Check Rejected.
