HierStrucID and HierUnitid
The system uses the following values to define the hierarchy structure:
HierStrucId (HSID) |
The enterprise and each zone only have one HierStrucID. A location and revenue will have a HierStrucID for its default node and for each time it is added to a zone. |
ParentHierStrucId (PHSID) |
The HierStrucId of the node above this one. |
HierUnitId (HUID) |
A unique value assigned to each node. All nodes have one HierUnitId. |
The following diagram shows the hierarchy again in terms of these three values:
As the picture shows, a location or revenue can have multiple HierStrucIds, but the HierUnitId remains the same, regardless of how the location or RVC was navigated to.
As a result of multiple HierStrucIds existing for an entity, the C&C API utilizes the HierUnitId when interacting with definitions.
