• Key Concepts: 
  A lead column is a field in a report tree in SAP that is used to identify the parent-child relationship between nodes. It is the first column in the report tree and contains the parent node's ID. The lead column is used to determine the hierarchy of the nodes in the report tree. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a lead column, you must first create a report tree in SAP. Once you have created the report tree, you can add a lead column by selecting the “Lead Column” option from the “Columns” tab. You can then enter the parent node's ID into the lead column field. This will create a hierarchical structure for your report tree. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a report tree, it is important to ensure that all of the nodes have unique IDs. This will make it easier to identify each node and its relationship with other nodes in the report tree. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the nodes are properly linked together using the lead column. This will ensure that your report tree is properly structured and organized.
