On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose  Logistics Production Overall Equipment Effectiveness Master Data Global Hierarchy .

On the Global Hierarchy screen, choose the template you want to use to create a global hierarchy.

Choose whether you want to display, create, change, or delete the global hierarchy.

You can add different node types such as corporation, region, country, and plant at subsequent node levels in the hierarchy based on the selected hierarchy template. The system guides you with the possible node types that you can add at any given node while creating the hierarchy.

For every node type enter the validity period on the Details tab.

You can select the key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant for a node and maintain the target values. KPIs can be assigned to all node levels in the hierarchy. KPI targets are material independent. You can specify the KPI value range as positive, negative, or bi-directional based on the KPI type. These value ranges are used while generating analytic reports.

To publish a hierarchy to the SAP HANA database, select the Publish option available on the secondary click at the different nodes of the hierarchy.

The status of the hierarchy is displayed in the Status field on the Details tab. When a hierarchy's status is Published, it is copied to the SAP HANA database. KPIs are reported after the hierarchy is published.

You can delete a node only if it is not published or is valid from a future date. When you delete such a node, the node details no longer exist in the system.
