SAP BLOG Material creation with product hierarchy……..

Dear SAP Folks,

In this blog post, I will share how to map product grouping ( Brand-Category- Sub category level wise) in material master

Introduction:

A product hierarchy is used in the SD area for analysis and price determination.The Prod.hierarchy field is an alphanumeric character string that groups together materials by combining different characteristics. In a standard SAP system, the product hierarchy can have up to three levels. Levels 1 and 2 have five characters each, and level 3 has eight. The product hierarchy is defined using Transaction V/76.

If you want 1st level then choose only one level

If you want 2nd level means then click next level……
