About Company Hierarchies

A company hierarchy is a group of companies that are organized by parent-child relationships. Siebel Industry Applications support displaying these company relationships in a hierarchical tree.

The hierarchical tree is a visual representation of company hierarchy data that allows end users to view the relationships between companies. By viewing a company roll-up, users can see aggregated company information, including contacts, coverage teams, activities, and opportunities.

When end users have access to a company, they can review the hierarchical structure for that company, its child divisions, and the contacts who work there. Company hierarchies are displayed in five subviews of the Companies screen:

• Relationship Hierarchy view
• Activity Roll-up
• Contact Roll-up
• Opportunity Roll-up
• Coverage Team Roll-up

Depending on your configuration, a company that does not have a parent-child relationship with another company might not appear in the roll-up views.
