• Key Concepts: 
  User-defined hierarchy is a feature of SAP EPM-SM Strategy Management that allows users to create their own hierarchies to organize and structure their data. This feature allows users to create custom hierarchies that are tailored to their specific needs and requirements. The hierarchies can be used to group data into categories, such as departments, regions, or products. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a user-defined hierarchy, users must first define the hierarchy structure. This includes defining the levels of the hierarchy, such as parent and child nodes, and assigning values to each level. Once the structure is defined, users can then add data to the hierarchy by assigning values to each node. The data can then be organized and structured according to the user-defined hierarchy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a user-defined hierarchy, it is important to consider how the data will be used. This will help ensure that the hierarchy is structured in a way that makes sense for the user’s needs. Additionally, it is important to consider how the data will be accessed and used in reports or other applications.
