• Key Concepts: 
  Generated hierarchy is a feature of the SCM-APO-MD Master Data component of SAP. It is a type of hierarchy that is automatically created by the system based on the data entered into the system. This type of hierarchy can be used to organize and structure data in a way that makes it easier to analyze and interpret. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Generated hierarchies can be used to organize data in a way that makes it easier to analyze and interpret. To create a generated hierarchy, users must first enter the data into the system. Once the data is entered, the system will automatically create a hierarchy based on the data. This hierarchy can then be used to organize and structure the data in a way that makes it easier to analyze and interpret. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a generated hierarchy, it is important to ensure that all of the data entered into the system is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the generated hierarchy is accurate and reflects the most current information. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data entered into the system is consistent with each other, as this will help ensure that the generated hierarchy is organized in a logical manner.
