In SAP S/4HANA cloud, a sales type customer hierarchy (Customer Hierarchy - Sales)is qualified for only one sales area (constructed by a sales organization, a distribution channel and a division). And only business partners belonging to the same sales area can be added to the hierarchy.

Solution
SAP S/4HANA cloud customer hierarchy supports 3 types of subnotes Help portal
As text note is not bounded to a single sales area and can be marked as pricing relevant, it can be used as global key account to reduce the efforts for pricing condition maintenance. Similarly, if a business partner has been assigned to multiple sales areas, he/she can also be assigned to multiple customer hierarchies. And this business parnter can also be used as global key account if he/she is maintained as a subnode .
Here is an example on how to do it step by step:
Copy your existing pricing procedure to a new one(e.g.“ZCHT01”) and add the access sequence (“ZCHT Customer Hierarchy Testing”) into the new pricing procedure(e.g.“ZCHT01”).
4. Adapt system configuration – Set Pricing Procedure Determination.
Update the pricing procedure determination of related sales areas to use the new pricing procedure (E.g. ZCHT01”)
Assign pricing procedure ZCHT01 to sales area (1010.10.00)
Assign pricing procedure ZCHT01 to sales area (1710.10.00)
5. Adapt system configuration – Assign Customer Hierarchy Relevance to Sales Document Types
Make sure the customer hierarchy determination has been enabled for related sales document Type.
For example, assign Basic Hierarchy Determination to OR Standard Order
6. Maintain master data – Create customer hierarchy.
Create two customer hierarchies using text note as global key account (e.g.” KEYACCOUNT”) using Manage Customer Hierarchies App. Make sure the hierarchies have been activated before usage.
Customer Hierarchy for Sales Area (1010,10,00)
Customer Hierarchy for Sales Area (1710,10,00)
7. Maintain master data – Create price condition record.
Create price condition records for the key account (E.g. 15% discount for KEYACCOUNT)
Now create sales orders for customers (E.g. customer 17100001, 10100005, 10100003) under customer hierarchy KEYACCOUNT, the 15% discount will apply.
And you could also check the details via Analysis Pricing.
Summary
In SAP S/4HANA cloud, customer hierarchy can only be defined within one sales area. But with subnode, it is possible to reduce condition records maintenance effort for global key accounts.
Then all BPs from different customer hierarchies/sales area under the same subnode (E.g.KEYACCOUNT or BP subnode 10100001 ) will inherit the same pricing condition from the subnode.
