Create
DescriptionCreating or changing a profit center group. All the groups from the HierarchyNodes tables are created in the system. The controlling area of thegroups are specified in the ControllingAreaImp parameter. Any existing groups are overwritten.
Information about the nodes of a hierarchy is transferred to the table HierarchyNodes. This table contains the group names and the description for each node in the hierarchy. The hierarchy structure isportrayed via the order of the nodes in the table and the level of the node in the HIERLEVEL field.
If values or value intervals are assigned to a node, then the entry in the VALCOUNT field shows the number of assigned values or value intervals. These are transfered to the HierarchyValues table in the order in which these appear in the hierarchy.
ExampleThe group 'GROUP1' has the following structure: GROUP1 | |---- GROUP11 | | | |---- GROUP111 | | | |---- VALUE1 | |---- GROUP12
| |---- VALUE2 |---- VALUE3 - VALUE9 The HierarchyNodes table thus contains the following entries: GROUPNAME HIERLEVEL VALCOUNT GROUP1 0 0
GROUP11 1 0 GROUP111 2 1 GROUP12 1 2 Only the nodes GROUP111 and GROUP12 contain values or intervals, the HierarchyValues table therefore contains the following entries: VALFROM VALTO
VALUE1 VALUE1 VALUE2 VALUE2 VALUE3 VALUE9 Groups can contain either values or other groups, i.e. only the end nodes of the hierarchy contain values. If the optional parameter TopNodeOnly is set to 'X', only the
first node in the hierarchy table can be created or changed. In this case the table HierarchyNodes, in addition to these nodes, may only contain level 1 nodes. These nodes must already exist in thesystem, here they are merely attached to the first node. In this way,
for example, an existing large hierarchy can be extended by attaching anew sub-tree without the hierarchy having to be completely recreated. If an error occurs when you create a group, the error message is issued in the parameter Return.
NotesYou need the authorization ofr the object K_PCAP_SET. The standard hierarchy may only be changed compatibly using thismethod. You may not move, insert or remove profit centers, or insert or remove subtrees that contain profit centers.
