After creating an InfoSource, you can include an InfoObject with a hierarchy in the InfoSource. After associating the InfoObject containing a hierarchy with an InfoSource, you can configure the hierarchy structure in the InfoSource properties.
To create an InfoSource with a hierarchy in SAP BI, specify that the InfoObject you want to include in the InfoSource will be used in a hierarchy. On the Hierarchy tab of the InfoObject details window, ensure that “with hierarchies” is selected. You assign this InfoObject to the InfoSource when you create the InfoSource. To configure and use an SAP BI hierarchy, create an InfoSource for master data.
After you create the InfoSource, select the InfoSource properties to configure the hierarchy structure.
Double-click the InfoSource.
Select
Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules

Enter values for the

options.
Ensure the value for the DataSource option is a hierarchy.
Click
Hier. Structure
to enter the name for the hierarchy.
You can select additional properties to configure the structure of the hierarchy.
