Product Hierarchy

Hi All
Everytime I add a value while creating the Product Hierarchy in V/76 - the Level field keeps defaulting to 1
I want to be able to set up tiers and hierarchial data for this field..
Is that possible?
Thank you
Rukshana

It is coming with level. In the first screen you can see the first level data which you have created from V/76. Select the first level, and press next level, you can see the next level data.
As example : Create as below in V/76.
Then you can see the first level in MMR as below:
Select first level and click Next level. Now you can see the second level data as below:
Then again choose a level and press next level to see the third level.

Mass Update of Product hierarchy in all CRM Open Sales Orders

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement in my project wherein I have to update product hierarchy details with new values in all Items of CRM Open sales orders.
If suppose I have a text file which has the details of Open Orders & new product hierarchy which i have to update, then would it be recommended if I use BDC for this task. Can I Call Transaction CRMD_ORDER?
If someone has already gone through such requirement, Can you please suggest me how to proceed with this requirement. Using BDC or any other way which I can proceed with?
Thanks in advance !!!
Regards,
Nitish.

You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
1. Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
3. click continue (don't select background)
4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
5. now start another session and go to transaction SE51
6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
Hope this answers your question

Pricing issue with Product hierarchy - Urgent

Hello,
I have an issue on pricing determination with product hierarchy.
I created product hierarchy as following,
level1 - A0001
level2 - A0001B0001
level3 - A0001B0001C0001
Then, assigned A0001B0001C0001 to material D in material master.
I created condition record with A0001B0001C0001(level 3), the system found the condition sucessfully when I created a sales order with material D.
However, I created condition record with A0001(level1) but the system didn't get the price when I created the sales order with material D. Since A0001B0001C0001 belongs to A0001, the system is supposed to get the price from the condition record with A0001...
Could you please let me know how to fix it?

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your kind explanation.
Here is the access sequence I defined. I wonder if there is anyway I can define PRODH1, PRODH2, PRODH3 in access sequnce the same way with customer hierarchy so that the system can check higher level data. If it's not allowed, I think I should define routine in requirement as you advised. Thanks!

Different product hierarchy in sales order and in service order

Dear experts,
In VA03, I notice that
- under Line Item > Sales B, there is a field Product Hierarchy
- under Line Item > Account assignment, there is a field Order. From here, it links to a service order. In the service order, I can see a field Product Hierarchy too.
I would like to know if there is an implication when the field Product Hierarchy in sales order and in service order are different. Is it possible that this will cause an inconsistency?
Usually these two fields have the same value, since the value in sales order is copied from service order. However, in my case, the product hierarchy is changed/updated in service order, but not in sales order.

Hi,
We have document pricing procedure maintained at two levels for Sales order or Billing type.
The pricing procedure is determined based on SAles Area Customer pricing procedureDocument Pricing procedure+pricing procedure.
Example :For Sales Document type the document pricing rpocedure will be A and for billing type 'B"
Sales Area1A+Pricing procedure A
Sales Area1B+Pricing procedure B
Now A will be maintained in VOV8 and B will be maintained in VOFA.So two pricing procedures.

SQVI Report for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy and its Product

Hi
How to create a SQVI report for generating a list for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy which should show the outputs->Level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4 categories and its products?
I tried COMM_Hierarchy table and Comm_product but not able to achieve this requirement.
or Is there any chance of getting related tables so that I could try more for this requirement.
In which table both product id and its category Id can be found?
Pravin

Thanks DJ
Is there any possibility to get a report for product hierarchy in SQVI ?
say in SAP CRM system, the product category is maintained in COMM_HIERARCHY as
Parent category Id->
                                Level2 Category Id->
                                                                 Level 3 Category Id->
Level 4 category Id ->
Product Id's
(I understood the link between Level 4 category id and product id with your info.) but not able to achieve the requirement fully.
Is there any possiblity to achive for generateing a report?

"Creation" of location product hierarchy

Hi Experts
I know that a location product hierarchy can be "generated" by combining a location hierarchy and a product hierarchy. But for our business requirement we cannot use a generated location product hierarchy. This is because we have 1000'ds of products and for each product the parent location -child locations can be different. That is for product A if parent is location L1 and children are L2 and L3 then for product B the parent can be L1 but the children can be different say L5 and L4. There can be 1000ds of location parent - children combinations like this and it is impossible to model this using a location hierarchy.
So i want to know if there is a way to directly create a location product hierarchy and manually add members to it. Please advise
Thanks

I have found another way to make it work. Iam going to try using the concept of planning product and check how it goes.

Issue in Hierarchy data upload from R/3 for info object Product Hierarchy.

Hi,
I am trying to upload the hierarchy data from R/3 system for Info Object Product Hierarchy.
Insted of business content info objects (0PRODH, 0PRODH1, 0PRODH2, 0PRODH3, 0PRODH4, 0PRODH5, 0PRODH6), we are using customized objects (ZPRODH, ZPRODH1, ZPRODH2, ZPRODH3, ZPRODH4, ZPRODH5, ZPRODH6).
In transfer rules the mapped is as specified below
Fields => Info Objects.
0ZPRODH1 => ZPRODH1
0ZPRODH2 => ZPRODH2
0ZPRODH3 => ZPRODH3
0ZPRODH4 => ZPRODH4
0ZPRODH5 => ZPRODH5
0ZPRODH6 => ZPRODH6
Now, when I schedule the Info Package, it is ending with an errors
"Node characteristic 0PRODH1 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH2 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH3 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH4 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH5 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH6 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH".
when i tried to load by flat file, there is no issues. But, flat file loading is not allowed for us.
Please let me know any possible solution to handle this issue.
Thanks.

Patil.

Hi voodi,
Insted of using the info object 0PRODH1, we should use customized info object ZPRODH1 which I added already in the external characteristic in Hierarchy.

CO-PA: product hierarchy predefined from best practice

Hi guys,
unfortunately I have as basis a best practice system, where product hierarchy with 3 levels is already defined in CO-PA:
PAPH1     ProdHier01-1     ProdH01-1     CHAR     5     MVKE     PAPH1
PAPH2     ProdHier01-2     ProdH01-2     CHAR     10     MVKE     PAPH2
PAPH3     ProdHier01-3     ProdH01-3     CHAR     18     MVKE     PAPH3
PRODH     Prod.hierarchy     Prod.hier.     CHAR     18     MVKE     PRODH
Those ones are already assigned to a best practice operating concern:
10UK     Best Practices
1. we have 7 levels in our product hierarchy
2. I need to read it from mara and not mvke
When trying to ad product hierarchy as characteristic in KEA5 in our new operating concern, I gut the message below.
This data element is used in tons of tables and the whole precdure looks risky + after transport I might have issues again?
Creating ww* characteristics for product hierarchy is not an option, since then I would need to maintain the whole product hiearchy as characteristc values again (like before release 4.5) and this is far more than 1000 entries and is double maintenance after go live.
Deleting the best practice operating concern is also difficult, since there are several clients where customizing still sits for 10UK.
Anybody experience? What did you do?
regards
Bjoern
Here is the text from KEA5 when trying to ad mara fields (since date elment lenghts is different due to more levels):
Product hierarchy field PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new structure
Message no. KE691
Diagnosis
The definition of the product hierarchy has changed (structure PRODHS). The hierarchy field generated in CO-PA, PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new definition, because it is already being used in structures or tables.
System Response
The field PAPH1 does not appear in the list of fields that can be selected.
It can no longer be used as a characteristic.
Procedure
If you still want to define hierarchy field PAPH1 as a characteristic, proceed as follows:
1. Display the where-used list for data element RKEG_PAPH1 in database fields using transaction SE12. For hierarchy field PAPH1 to be adapted, a data conversion must be carried out for all the tables listed!
2. First change the number of characters in the domain RKEG_PAPH1 to match the new definition of the product hierarchy, following the example below. You can do this using transaction SE11.
Structure PRODHS     Domain
Field    Length      name       Number of characters
PRODH1     3         RKEG_PAPH1      3
PRODH2     2         RKEG_PAPH2      5
PRODH3     5         RKEG_PAPH3     10
PRODH4     8         RKEG_PAPH4     18

Just as Info,
I needed to go for deletion of those characteristics - quite some work, like:
1. delete all where-used entries for the characteristics in ALL CLIENTS of this system (important: e.g. planning layout - recommended to change and not simply delete, because the change can be transported)
2. when then trying to delete characteristics (with "unlock" in KEA0 > value fields) - tons of tables and strucutres popped up, where this data element is still needed - follow note 353257
3. generate best practice operating concern new (10UK in our case)
4. create PAPH1 etc. new from table MARA (not mvke in our case - depends)
all good - hopefully no issues after transport - we will see.

CO-PA Realignment: Changes in Product Hierarchy

Hello all,
We have changed the product hierarchy on some of our materials and we want to realign the PA data to reflect the same.
Our product hierarchy which we have three levels is maintained in KES1. There are no derivation rules. KES1 is updated manually everytime any changes occur.
For example:
OLD
Product: 1-189-01
Hierarchy 1: 100
Hierarchy 2:A7300
Hierarchy3: B56220
So on the material master the prod hierarchy is 100A7300B56220
NEW
Product: 1-189-01
Hierarchy 1: 125
Hierarchy 2:A7500
Hierarchy3: B56120
I tried using KEND for realignment and this does not change anything. Any help, how to proceed with the realignment is appreciated.

Hi Anusha,
Did u also update PH level in KES3 - in specific hierarchy variant ? Also would like to know how did u reset the operating concern
Thanks,

R/3 Product Hierarchy in BW data model.

Hi all,
We have been told by our implementation partner that the scenario described below is not feasible to design in our BW 3.5 system and if we were to implement this scenario there would be a significant amount of user maintenance to maintain the hierarchy structure in BW.
I was a query user in previous BW versions and my datawarehouse modeling experience is mostly in Cognos and Business Objects. The scenario described below is very easily implemented in these other datawarehouse software packages and I would be suprised if SAP does not have a standard solution to address the problem.
I would like to understand if:
(1) Yes this solution can be easily implemented in BW 3.5
(2) A brief explanation on the design approach, implementation, and considerations
I am already familiar with the link on http://sap.help.com that explains BW hierarchy design and considerations, but I would like to get a "real world" understanding of an approach and design and if you experienced this requirement.
Thank You in advance for your input.
Regards,
-Anthony
Scenario:
In R/3 we have modified the standard delivered product hierarchy structure for material master from 5,5,8 to be 5,5,4,4.
The 4 levels represent: BRAND --> PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
Our intent is to use this structure to satisfy current BW reporting requirements for COPA and R/3 Billing infocubes.
In BEx Explorer we would like to perform product analysis using the following dimension paths:
BRAND --> PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
We are told that since we have multiple values at the BRAND node we will not be able to perform grouped reporting the starts at PRODUCT LINE node(which would be independent of the BRAND node). For example:
BRAND, PRODUCT LINE, PRODUCT CATEGORY
HONDA, AUTOMOBILE, CIVIC
HONDA, AUTOMOBILE, ACCURA
HONDA, BLOWER, CIVIC
HONDA, MOTORCYCLE, ODESSY
FORD, AUTOMOBILE, EXPLORER
FORD, BLOWER, EXPLORER
FORD, MOTORCYCLE, CHAMPION
So for example we would like to start our dimensional anaylsis to show all AUTOMOBILE or BLOWER sales independent of the fact they were for HONDA or FORD.
In other datawarehouse systems I have either: (1) created 3 dimensions called: BRAND, PRODUCT LINE, and PRODUCT CATEGORY or (2) created one dimension called BRAND with alternate dimension paths for PRODUCT LINE and PRODUCT CATEGORY. I am not sure if this is feasible in BW.
We were also told in order to achieve this design a structure would have to be maintained in BW every time we introduce a new material master and the material master would need to be manually entered into the structure so that reporting can be achieved for both the standard structure and the alternate structure(s).

Antony ,
there will be maintenance involved every time you add a material to the material master. However you could maintain the hierarchy through a GUI also depending on the number of values.
Ideally if this can be maintained in a table in the source system , it can be imported into BW. Otherwise if you were to maintain it in BW , you will have a lot of problems when :
1. Change in the hierarchy - A new Product Line coming in and many product category onwards change over to the new product line.
2. Viewing the changed hierarchy over time - If you have GM and a separate category called Daewoo , earlier they were separate and now they are one - what are my product sales due to the merged entity vis-a-vis separate entities earlier...
Things that you will need to consider from a design stand popint are :
1. Should the hierarchy be time dependent ?
2. Should it be maintained in the source system or in BW?
3. Change process for the same - Flat file / Manual
4. Estimate of how frequent the hierarchy would change?
5. Will you have display hierarchies - Ad-Hoc hierarchies to view certain combinations?
Depending on the above your hierarchy creation can go from easy to complex and hard to maintain.
One way to amintain it is to have a SAP ABAP program to populate a hierarchy table to have the relations in R/3 and transfer them into BW. You could automate it in such a way that the hierarchy is changed every time there is a new material
Otherwise , there can be a flat file to create the relationships
Or someone could log a request and if the change is minimal it couldbe done thru a GUI Interface provided by BW.

Product hierarchy in COPA

Hi all,
I am new to COPA. What I need to do is creating a report that is using a product hierarchy that we can define.
So I started and created a hierarchy in V/76 like we need it. Those values can now be entered into the "Prod. hierarchy" field for each material in material master - basic data 1.
Then I have created a characteristic for the field MARA-PRDHA (Product Hierarchy) in COPA and assigned it to our operating concern in COPA. Now I created a form (KE34), double clicked on a column to add a characteristic and selected my PROD HIERARCHY characteristic. Now in the window for "selected characteristics" there is a checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" so I checked that, but it says "No hierarchies exist for this characteristic".
So is this the right way to do it? How can I add product hierarchies to my COPA report, we would like to be able to "click" through the hierarchy, like starting on the highest level and clicking down.
Thanks
Anne

Anne,
Do not a check on checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" . Select value( Hierarchies from Definition drop down window) .
Thanks,
Mahesh

How to put the product hierarchy in the bw?

I want to have the product hierarchy in the reporting, in a way, that the users can open and shut the elements of the tree.
So i added the foreign hierarchy criteria 0PRODH1, 2, 3 to the InfoObject 0MATERIAL.
Then I used InfoSource 0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER to put data in 0MATERIAL.
In the result 0MATERIAL HAS the hierarchy, but without any materials added to the leafs.
What did i do wrong?
Tobias

Hi ,
Have a look on note: 407033
It says 2 main points with regarding to your problem.
1) Material master records with shared master data in the sales area cannot be assigned to a product hierarchy in BW.
This solution generates the thinnest possible hierarchy, but leads to some restrictions in the navigation options in the BW queries because you can no longer expand the hierarchy to the material numbers.
2) The 0PROD_HIER attribute of 0-MATERIAL must be active as a navigation attribute in the cube.When you expand the hierarchies by product hierarchy in the query, you can display this hierarchy.
With rgds,
Anil Kuma Sharma .P
Kindly assign points , if it really helps you.

Product Hierarchy in the t-code F-02 - Profitability Segment section.

Dear All,
I am trying to control the input of the Product Hierarchy in the t-code F-02 - Profitability Segment section. May i know how i can do that? Currently i am using field exits but it is not working in this program.
Please help.
thank you

Hi Jasmina,
When you post with PK 31 you create you post other line with PK 40.
In the 40 line you fill in the Profit segment. A Derivation rule is based on 1 posting line and not 2 or more line's
In the derivation rule from the 40 you don't have the vendor number (this is in the 31 line).
Perhaps it is possible with a user exit in CO-PA.

Paul

Implement the Product Allocation Functionality
We are required to implement product allocation functionality in SAP R/3 (Enterprise Version).
We tried to do the elaborate steps as per the implementation guide but are not successful. Can you kindly help by giving the simple steps for implementation.
Please see if the following helps:
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).
