  Key Concepts: 
  A hierarchy node is a component of the SAP Business Partner (BP) application. It is used to define the structure of a business partner, such as its organizational structure, its relationships with other business partners, and its roles within the organization. A hierarchy node can be used to represent a single business partner or a group of business partners. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a hierarchy node, you must first create it in the SAP Business Partner application. This can be done by selecting the “Create Hierarchy Node” option from the menu. Once created, you can assign different roles and relationships to the hierarchy node. For example, you can assign a parent-child relationship between two business partners or assign a role such as “customer” or “supplier” to a particular business partner.
