  • Key Concepts: 
    Geocoding level is a feature of the SAP SCM Basis component that allows users to assign geographic coordinates to their data. This enables them to visualize their data on a map and analyze it in a spatial context. Geocoding level also allows users to assign different levels of detail to their data, such as country, region, city, or street level. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use geocoding level, users must first enter the geographic coordinates of their data into the system. This can be done manually or by using an external geocoding service. Once the coordinates are entered, users can assign different levels of detail to their data. For example, they can assign a country level to their data if they want to analyze it at a national level, or they can assign a street level if they want to analyze it at a more granular level. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When assigning different levels of detail to your data, make sure that you are using the most appropriate level for your analysis. For example, if you are analyzing sales data at a regional level, then assigning a street level may not be necessary. Additionally, make sure that you are entering accurate geographic coordinates for your data so that your analysis is as accurate as possible.
