What is the best way to bring a hierarchy in R3 to BW

Question

Hi,
There is a hierarchy constructed on R3 based on sales area called AMG hierarchy. Users now want the same hierarchy in BW reports based on Cube1.
What is the best approach to handle this?

Answer 1

Hi,
I tried mk1 and it prompts for:
u201CHierarchy name & Data Elementu201D
When I tried mk2, it only prompts for u201CHierarchy nameu201D.
1.
Both tcodes do not allow me to browse for the list of hierarchies so it appears I need to know the tech name somehow. Should  I have been able to browse?
2.
Is there another way to see the list of hierarchies on R3
(Is there a similar tcode on BW to see or create the hierarchies on BW?)
3.
Just to understand, what difference does it make whether the hierarchy was created with mk1 or mk2?
4.
So, let me get this clear, on R3, when I execute BW10, I am prompted to enter:
"Data Element for the Logical General Hierarch"
it is at this point that when I browse, trying to see the list of hierarchies, I get the above message.
"No General Hierarchy Available in R/3"
Let's assume that I know the "Data Element for the Logical General Hierarch" to be xxxxHierxxxx.
When I enter xxxxHierxxxx, what should I expect?
Are you suggesting that it will automatically create the same hierarchy on BW?
Thanks
