Arranging Units in Hierarchy

You can arrange the dimension units in the hierarchies in the Units view.

You can drag-and-drop units to new locations in the hierarchy, either under a unit or between units. For moving a unit to a new place under the same consolidation unit, you can also use the arrow buttons up (Move up) down (Move down).

Note! You cannot change an input unit which contains data into a consolidation unit. This means, for example, that if Unit A contains data for the Budget and Estimate data types, then you cannot move any other unit connected to the Budget or Estimate data type under Unit A.

To remove a unit from the hierarchy, select the unit and click down_b under Units not in use. To add a removed unit back to the hierarchy, click up_b.

Note! The BWNonAllocatedItem unit cannot be added to a hierarchy but is always located under Units not in use.

All units do not need to be used in all hierarchies. Hierarchies are also year-specific, which means that a unit may be used in the same hierarchy in one year, but not in another.
