• Key Concepts: 
  Descendent is a term used in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) to refer to a child node in a hierarchical structure. It is the opposite of ancestor, which refers to a parent node. A descendent node is any node that is lower in the hierarchy than its ancestor. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Descendent nodes are used to organize data into hierarchical structures. For example, in an organizational chart, the CEO would be the ancestor node and all employees below them would be descendent nodes. In SAP MDM, descendent nodes can be used to organize data into categories and subcategories. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a hierarchical structure in SAP MDM, it is important to remember that each node can only have one ancestor but can have multiple descendents. This means that each node can only have one parent but can have multiple children. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Descendent nodes are related to other terms such as ancestor, parent, and child. Understanding these terms and how they relate to each other is important for creating effective hierarchical structures in SAP MDM.
