15 Reporting Hierarchies

A reporting hierarchy provides the reporting structure to an enterprise and its restaurants. Reporting hierarchies enable you to group restaurant locations for collecting and assembling report totals. A reporting hierarchy is similar to an organizational hierarchy because it consists of levels and locations in parent-child relationships. Depending on your reporting requirements, you can create variations of reporting hierarchies that use the same locations.

The following figure shows examples of reporting hierarchies that use the same Columbia restaurant location:
