   Create Standard Hierarchy
   

In this section, you will create an empty Cost Center Standard Hierarchy within your Controlling Area. Your Cost Center Standard Hierarchy (NA##) will eventually consist of all Cost Centers within your Company Code for a given time period. The Standard Hierarchy will represent all costs associated with your legal entity for that time period and will serve as a basis for Management Accounting (Controlling) reporting.
