• Key Concepts: 
  Hierarchy mapping is a feature of the SAP Application Interface Framework (CA-GTF-AIF) that allows users to map hierarchies from different systems into a single, unified hierarchy. This feature enables users to easily access and analyze data from multiple systems in a single view. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use hierarchy mapping, users must first define the hierarchies they want to map. This can be done by creating a hierarchy template in the SAP Application Interface Framework (CA-GTF-AIF). Once the template is created, users can then map the hierarchies from different systems into the template. The mapped hierarchies can then be used to access and analyze data from multiple systems in a single view. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a hierarchy template, it is important to ensure that all of the hierarchies being mapped are compatible with each other. This will ensure that the data from each system can be accurately accessed and analyzed in a single view. Additionally, it is important to keep the hierarchy template up-to-date as changes in the underlying systems may require changes to the template.
