Customer exit variable to hide hierachy node

In my current project we have the hide a position in a hierarchy, because it is a departmental requirement. The hierarchy is used by many departments so we cannot change it and we also don't want to have the same hierarchy two times (except for the one position). So we first excluded the position in the query.

But this didn't worked.

So we had to think what could we do to hide the specific position of the hierarchy. So we think how could we hide a specific position and the idea was to use a customer exit variable. You find the coding on Github. After I implemented the customer exit, only the position "EBIT" is now hided.
