How to read Hierarchies from SAP....

Hi Experts,

We have implemented BODS 4.1 on windows recently and now we have some requirements on reading Hierarchies which are given in the form of IDOCs. I know bods shows Hierarchies as one of its meta data under the data store, but these are changes getting triggered automatically through IDOC and hence we want to go for IDOC as input for reading hierarchies, I’m currently trying to read cost centers whose structure is attached.
Can you please suggent me how to write these hierarchies into flat tables. How to build a basic data flow.

Reading SAP hierarchies is very simple with the standard functionality.

Maybe use the Idoc as a trigger to read the hierarchy directly from SAP and then detect what the changes were?

Or do it the hard way and try to transform the idoc structure back in to a hierarchy… :wink:
