Making a Hierarchy using Locations and Departments

[dkumar1]

Hi,

I would like to be able to use Locations and/or Departments to build a Hierarchy , with Business Units at the top, and progressing to various cost centers.

I see that a 'Parent' capability is possible with the User Group entity, but I want to keep Groups seperate for Assignment purposes.

At the moment, there is no capability to build a Hierarchy for Loctions and Departments, as there is no 'Parent' field available-
Using a new reference field and calling it Parent does not appear in the Reports.

How do other large customers manage this type of request, or do I need to ask for an Enhancement here?:)

I do not fully understand what you are trying to achieve but you can use Company as the parent and location or department as children of company. If you need department to be a dependent of location then it looks like you may have to build a reference field that creates that functionality.

Hi,

In actual fact, by going to the dictionary and using the tree picker functionality, I was able to get the hierarchy to show in a custom field.
