Hi Sandy,

In SAP, a product hierarchy is used for pricing. A product hierarchy is an alphanumeric character string which consists of 18 characters at the most. Product hierarchy thus define the product and its composition. To take an example, a product hierarchy could be 00010002000300040005. The first four characters 0001 could indicate that the product is a car. The next four characters could indicate 0002 the plant in which the car has been manaufactured. The third set of characters could indicate the color of the car. The next set may determine its engine capacity and so on. Thus, the product hierarchy helps in defining the product composition.

Hope it helps,

Thanks

Hi Sandy,

The path is

IMG>Logistics General>Material Master>Settings for key fields>Data Relevant for Sales and Distribution --> Define Product Hiearchies

or you could also use t-code OVSV

Hi,

We can maintain the product hiearchy via transaction "OVSV" and "V/76. Otherwise we can do it in the above way.
