• Key Concepts: 
  Account hierarchy is a feature of SAP software that allows users to organize their accounts into a hierarchical structure. This structure can be used to group accounts into categories, such as customers, vendors, and employees. It also allows users to assign different levels of access to different accounts. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the account hierarchy feature, users must first create a hierarchy in the SAP system. This can be done by selecting the “Account Hierarchy” option from the “Business Partner” menu in the SAP system. Once the hierarchy is created, users can assign different levels of access to different accounts within the hierarchy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an account hierarchy, it is important to consider how the different levels of access will be used. For example, if a user wants to restrict access to certain accounts, they should create a separate level of access for those accounts. This will ensure that only authorized users have access to those accounts.
