  Key Concepts: 
  Class hierarchy is a feature of the CA-CL Classification System in SAP. It is a hierarchical structure of classes that are used to organize and categorize objects. The class hierarchy is made up of parent classes, which are the highest level of the hierarchy, and child classes, which are the lower levels. Each class has its own attributes and characteristics that can be used to differentiate it from other classes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The class hierarchy in SAP can be used to organize objects into categories. For example, a company may have a class hierarchy for its products, with each product being assigned to a specific class. This allows for easier navigation and searchability when looking for specific products or services. Additionally, the class hierarchy can be used to assign different levels of access to different users, allowing for more secure access control. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a class hierarchy in SAP, it is important to consider how the classes will be used and how they will interact with each other. It is also important to consider how the classes will be organized so that they are easy to navigate and searchable. Additionally, it is important to consider how the classes will be used for access control so that only authorized users have access to certain areas or objects.
