- Capability for FR to capture multiple hierarchies, such as geographic and government administrative hierarchies that can differ from programmatic supervision hierarchies and differ from supply line hierarchies (warehouse X supplies health facilities Y and Z).

Medicines might be tracked and inventoried at those locations separately, and stock movements might be recorded from one to another (such as from the warehouse to the maternity ward).
Note: Facility-within-a-facility relationships could be modeled as parent-child or tree data structures. Alternatively, this could be modeled as arbitrary, non-hierarchical relationships (eg, Facility A is 'co-located' with Facility B).
