Create a Party Hierarchy in Oracle Fusion Applications

This article will discuss Party Hierarchies and demonstrate how to create a Party Hierarchy in Oracle Fusion Applications.

Hierarchical structures of an enterprise are defined in and maintained in special tables. And one of those tables is the FND_HIER. There are three predefined hierarchies:

1. The customer hierarchy
2. Thee trading community party hierarchy
3. Dun and Bradstreet hierarchy. 

As a prerequisite, you need to have the role "Customer Data Steward" assigned to the desired user. For a demonstration on how to assign the role, check out the video below:

Once assigned, proceed to the Navigator, look for Customer Data Management > Hierarchies 

Select Hierarchies and click on the Create button. 

Give the hierarchy a name and go with the option: "Trading Community Party hierarchy" and with the status of "Active" and then click on Next:

In the Hierarchy Members section, Click on the "Add" icon to add a Parent Party:

To add a child Party, select the Parent Party and click on the "Add" icon again:

Look for the child Party ("ABC Consulting") and proceed to click OK.

If you expand the hierarchy, you can see that ABC Corporation sits at the top and then ABC Consulting sits below, underneath. 

You can further add child Parties if necessary. Once done, click on Next to confirm the hierarchy and click on Finish to effectively create the Party hierarchy.

Below is a quick video demonstration on how to create a Party Hierarchy in Oracle Fusion Applications:
