Remove Hierarchy

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 45

We are running into issues with merging records due to hierarchy.  I realize we can remove the link to the Parent Account, and allow the merge.

However, we do not use the Hierarchy.....is there a way to remove the Heirarchey completely form the Account entity after the fact...without any data issues or repercussions ?

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    What error occurs?

    Did you try to uncheck this option?

    Since Account is an OOTB entity and the relationship account_parent_account also managed, so I think you can not disable Hierarchical function in Account.

    You may read more about Hierarchical in this link.

    Also I tried to delete the  Hierarchical setting and some error popups when user try to view hierarchical data:

    But if error is caused by Hierarchy security, then you can disable it with steps in this link.
