Planning - Attribute Hierarchy question

Question

I currently have an attribute defined for one of my dimensions and would like to re-arrange the defined attribute members into a simple hierarchy. That does not appear to be possible. I can create Siblings and Children, but cannot move an existing member to be a child of Parent. Has anyone found a way around this? Thanks -
Tom

Dianne,
The whole purpose of 52 is to build the lower levels of the BOMs to the forecast, and to ignore any extraneous factors (such as sales orders and FGs stock).  SAP specifically excludes netting against FGs stock for this strategy.  In an ideal world, such stock does not exist.  When it does exist, it must be handled manually.
Some companies add a step to their forecasting process, by reducing the forecast by the amount of stock contained in FGs, before converting the forecast to Planned independent requirements, as a partial workaround. 
Generally, your ATPs will not consider FGs stock.  As soon as you issue FGs to the order, then the FGs buildable planned orders disappear during the next MRP run, and everything falls back into synch.
If you wish to net against FGs stock, use a strategy like 40 or 10, and use a regular ATP.  Or, consider using enhancements.
