nSAP Product Hierarchy CO-PA

Every time a CO-PA document is created, Product Hierarchy nodes are

automatically derived based on the Product number and there is no maintenancerequired from the CO-PA side

Product Hierarchy fields in CO-PA use the same check table as the original

PRODH field where the product hierarchy is maintained in MM. This means there

is no need to maintain values for Product Hierarchy fields in CO-PA

drill down along the Product Hierarchy

We maintain separate characteristics at each level of the hierarchy to

achieve this drill-down functionality
