I would like some advice about maintaining the reverse (+/-) sign indicator on hierarchy nodes. I am working with 0ACCOUNT hierarchy. I have adjusted 0ACCOUNT infoobject hierarchy properties so that the reverse sign for nodes is checked true. I have built the appropriate replacement path variable and added it to my queries. When I set the reverse sign flag to true on specific nodes in the 0ACCOUNT hierarchy, the query variable picks it up and reverses the signs as expected. The challenge that I face is that I have several 0ACCOUNT hierarchies that need to be maintained, each of these with several nodes, sub nodes, and account numbers that need to be reversed. Also these will be changing on a regular basis. I do not want to manually maintain all of this in BW. Each of these hierarchies is extracted and loaded from R3 every night to pick up hierarchy changes, but the 0ACCOUNT hierarchy extractor does not have the reverse sign indicator. Ideally, users in R3 would mark specific hierarchy nodes and leaves with reverse indicators which then would be extracted and loaded to BW. Any ideas on how to best address this challenge?
Request clarification before answering.
Hi Kelley,
Are you loading the hierarchy using the PSA method? See the last segment at this link:

Hope this helps...

Bhanu,
I have already researched the hierarchy PSA method, which would definitely address some of my concerns. The PSA method of extraction is not available for 0ACCOUNT hierarchy from R/3. This type of hierarchy extraction is only available for specific hierarchy extractors (usually newer ones) from R/3 and flat file loads. Is there a way to convert a hierarchy extract from an IDOC method to the PSA method? If so, I would like to hear about it.
Thanks for your reply,
