Product Setypes and Attriubues

Product Hierarchies and Categories

 

 

Hierarchies

A hierarchy can be defined as a configuration hierarchy. The subcategories can contain configurable fields and logic. Only one configuration hierarchy is permitted per product category. You can define the extended maintenance in the hierarchy as well. If you set this indicator, all categories and set types of the hierarchy are generated in the Product Modeling Environment (PME). As a result you can use set types with several value attributes. In addition, you can define default values on category level. The extended maintenance is automatically defined for configuration hierarchies.

If you use products in transaction that do not contain any organizational data, you must allocate the following set types to the product hierarchy so that you can assign an organization-independent item category group:

●  Set type CRMM_PR_BTR Transaction-controlling fields

●  CRM_ISU_ATTR IS-U Attributes for Contract

●  CRM-ISU_VALUES Pre-assignment of Values for Lean Configuration

 

 

There are Five steps of creating a new product :



1) Maintain attributes

2) maintain set types

3) maintain categories and hierarchies

4) define number range for product type material

5) maintain product



Step 1 use Transaction code - COMM_ATTRSET

maintain the product attributes here



Step 2 Transaction code - COMM_ATTRSET

maintain the set types of the product



Step 3  Transaction code - COMM_HIERARCHY

Create a category and assign it to respective product hierarchy



Step 4 Transaction code - COMCMATERIALID

Number range of the product is defined here



Step 5 Transaction code - COMMPR01

Provide the required field like UOM, description, attribute etc



Finally the product is created with the required attributes.
