• Key Concepts: 
  Multiple hierarchy is a feature of SAP EPM-BPC Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) that allows users to create multiple hierarchies for their data. This feature enables users to view their data in different ways, such as by product, geography, or customer. It also allows users to create multiple versions of the same hierarchy, which can be used for different purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the multiple hierarchy feature in SAP EPM-BPC BPC, users must first create a hierarchy template. This template will define the structure of the hierarchy and can be used to create multiple versions of the same hierarchy. Once the template is created, users can then create multiple versions of the same hierarchy by selecting different nodes from the template. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a hierarchy template, it is important to consider how the data will be used. For example, if the data will be used for budgeting purposes, it may be beneficial to create a template that includes both product and geography nodes. Additionally, when creating multiple versions of the same hierarchy, it is important to ensure that all versions are consistent with each other.
