Displaying a Document Hierarchy 
Prerequisites
The document that you are currently processing is included in a hierarchy. If this is the case, the Document included in hierarchy indicator is set.
A hierarchy exists for the document that you are currently processing if:
- You have defined a superior document.
- The document has been defined as superior in another document.
Procedure
On the Basic Data screen, choose Extras
®
Hierarchy
The Document Hierarchy screen appears, which shows a list of all the documents in the hierarchy. The documents are grouped by hierarchy level.
- For each document, you see the following fields: Level
Document type)
Document number
Document part
Version
Description.
The Status fields (abbreviation and description) may not be displayed on the screen. If you want to see status data, scroll to the right.
- The document at the top of the hierarchy has level
0
.
- If a document has other documents below it, these appear immediately below it in the hierarchy, with the next level number.
- The start document and all subordinate documents are highlighted.
- If you cannot see all of the documents in the hierarchy on your screen, scroll down using the vertical scroll bar.
The slider box on the scroll bar shows you roughly which section of the list you are currently displaying.
- To display the document info record of a document in the hierarchy, select the line concerned. You see the Basic Data screen, where you can use all active functions.
Although you are currently using display mode, you can change the document info records directly from the hierarchy.
The system indicates documents that you changed directly from a hierarchy list on the Document hierarchy screen in the column Level with a check mark.
You can also display the document hierarchy using the
Product Structure Browser.
