Can a custom organization hierarchy be created before establishing a custom organization subtype?

Creating a custom organization hierarchy fundamentally depends on the existence of custom organization subtypes. An organization subtype defines the specific characteristics and functionality for the organization, which in turn informs how that hierarchy will be structured. Establishing the subtype first is crucial because it dictates how organizations will behave and interact within the hierarchy.

If a hierarchy were to be created without first defining the subtypes, there would be a lack of clarity and structure regarding how to categorize and manage those organizations effectively. Custom organization subtypes provide the necessary framework to support and organize the hierarchy, ensuring that all entities within that structure comply with the required standards and functionalities set by the subtype definitions. Thus, without having a subtype in place, the hierarchy cannot be created accurately or effectively.
