Creating Objects in Structural Graphics

Prerequisites

Create objects when you want to add new objects to an organizational plan.

To create an object in Structural Graphics, you must define where the object fits in a hierarchical structure. When you do this, you define a relationship between a new object and an existing object. (Therefore, you create a relationship infotype record).

You can create more than one object at a time in Structural Graphics.
