The Hierarchy Management Tool is an online self-service portal to manage changes to the hierarchy to fit your specific needs.

What to Know

Use this section for tool release modifications info, hierarchy tree, and minimum basic hierarchy requirements.

The Hierarchy Management Tool

With the tool you can design a hierarchy tree that matches your business and for your accounting needs, you can produce customized reports and invoices.

 

Minimum Basic Hierarchy

This is a node structure that enables the TFB1 bill format and the TFB reporting tool. The hierarchy is made up of the Root node, MCCID group node, and the account reporting nodes under that MCCID.

MCCID

This is a number that identifies all accounts with the same tax ID for billing and reporting purposes.

Move a node

 
When moving a node, the entire hierarchy under that node will be moved.

To move these nodes, remove the lines and add them to the correct nodes after they have been moved into the billing system.

If Reporting tree does not exist for the account create a hierarchy.

Some nodes, such as Root, MCCID, Division, and Department are not to be moved due to the nature of those nodes.
