Hierarchy Problem ( Duplicates records Problem)

Question

Gurus-
I'm having a problem with cost center Hierarchy ,
my problem is if a person is the head of cost center , he can manage 4 to 5 Cost center, I configured in bw Ex:  Mr X as a Text Node
Under him is  all the Cost center  Character under the tedxt node .
But when I'm running my query , I'm getting every thing getting Duplicate Values...One for the MR X & Other for the Cost Center Character
Report out put:
1, MR X (Which is a Text Node) cost center 1001, emp id 100.....
       and othe value for  Cost center 1001, emp id 100
2 , MR Y  Cost center 2001 , emp id 2000
          and othe value for  Cost center 2001 , emp id 2000
How should i  eliminate the Duplicates .Please, help me out....

Answer 1

if thats the case, then the values arent duplicating, it is just the structure ur business wants to display. As MR.X is both the text node as well as the char value. thats the reason they seem to duplicate, but actually they are not. If observe, the totals would be different for both the node and value. As the node would be having mutiple values beneath it .. meaning mr.y and mr.z can aslo be under X.
If this is the case, I dont think there is a way to supress the nodes of hierarchy if the IO has hierarcy set in the properties to display.
