Editing a Product Structure

The Edit option on the Structure Editor screen lets you modify a product structure over time in the form of a draft version. The Structure Editor has the standard SAP draft editing process that lets you change multiple objects in a single transaction. Additionally, multiple users can simultaneously edit the same structure.
