• Key Concepts: 
  Base hierarchy is a feature of the CRM-MD Master Data component of SAP. It is a hierarchical structure that allows users to organize and manage their data in a logical and efficient way. The base hierarchy consists of nodes, which are the individual elements of the hierarchy, and links, which connect the nodes together. The base hierarchy can be used to store and manage data such as customer information, product information, and sales data.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the base hierarchy, users must first create a node in the hierarchy. This can be done by selecting the “Create Node” option from the CRM-MD Master Data menu. Once a node has been created, users can then add links between nodes to create a hierarchical structure. Links can be created by selecting the “Create Link” option from the CRM-MD Master Data menu. Once the base hierarchy has been created, users can then add data to each node in the hierarchy.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a base hierarchy, it is important to keep in mind that each node should have a specific purpose. For example, if you are creating a customer database, each node should represent a different customer or type of customer. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all nodes are properly linked together so that data can be easily accessed and managed.
