Resolution
How Segment Reporting will not work
You expect if a higher level Segment is selected, then all child segment balances must be shown.
For eg. if SEG1 is selected, then all underlying Segment SEG2, SEG3 balances must be shown.
To explain this, firstly, there is no hierarchy in Segments. Hierarchy is maintained only at Profit Center and cost center levels.
Segments are derived based on the Profit Center. The hierarchical balance can already be seen by selection of Profit Center.
