SAP Note 1380879 - FAQ: Split criteria in the Sourcing
Cockpit
Hierarchies
You can use this function in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) to support sourcing of purchase requisitions for service items from SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP), including service item hierarchies. This allows you to support service structures with a maximum depth of five outline levels. In addition, hierarchies are supported in Supplier Self-Services (SUS), allowing supplier collaboration for back-end purchase orders containing service item hierarchies.
Note
Currently, RFxs, RFx responses, and shopping carts are supported in SAP SRM, whereas sales orders and confirmations are supported in SUS. For shopping carts, however, hierarchies are only supported when they have been created based on external requirements with hierarchies. In other words, you cannot create shopping carts in SAP SRM and then build hierarchies.
End of the note.
You can use outline items to structure service requirements, and break them down into their smallest components using configurable item numbering. Outline items are purely informational, and allow you to group subline items. They must contain at least one subline item, and do not trigger follow-on processes. Subline items can be either outline items or line items. Contrary to outline items, line items contain accounting information and trigger follow-on processes. You can roll down prices, and other information, such as business partners, delivery date, and account assignment, to lower levels. Similarly, you can roll up prices from lower levels and sum them up.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under  SRM Server  Cross-Application Basic Settings  Service Procurement  Activate Service Procurement , you must have activated the hierarchy function.
You have defined settings as described in SAP Solution Manager under  <project name>  Configuration  SAP SRM <release>  Basic Settings for Service Procurement Classic  Settings for SAP SRM  Activate Service Procurement Classic . This configuration step applies to both SAP SRM and Materials Management.
Example
You could structure a computer delivery as follows, using configurable line item numbers:
1 Outline IT Equipment
1.1 Outline Laptop
1.1.1 Material Hardware
1.1.1.1 Info line RAM
1.1.1.2 Info line DVD drive
1.1.2 Outline Software
1.1.2.1 Material Microsoft Office
1.1.2.2 Material CAD
Values are entered at item level and rolled up to the superordinate outline level, whereas the delivery date is entered at outline level and rolled down to the item levels.
