If you want to define hierarchical relationships between business entities, then copy the relationships and create them as hierarchy relationships. If you want to create a connection between related business entities, then copy the relationships and create them as network relationships.

When you copy relationships in the Hierarchy Manager, the new relationship that you create references the same relationship base object in the Hub Console. After you finish copying the relationships that you want to use, you must revert the relationship base object to a base object. Reverting a relationship base object to a base object removes the Hierarchy Manager metadata from the object and allows you to create and update hierarchy and network relationships in the Provisioning tool.
