Graphical Overview of Product Group Hierarchies 

Definition

In contrast to the product group graphic, the graphical overview shows you all product group hierarchies. You see the root of every hierarchy in the system. Product groups that are members of other product groups are not displayed.

Displaying Product Groups Without Members

Product groups without members are not shown since they contain no hierarchy. To display them, choose Extras ® PG without members.

Displaying Descriptions

You can show or hide the description of a selected product group, or all product groups, using the Extras menu.

Calling Up a Hierarchy Graphic

From the graphical overview, you can select a specific product group hierarchy for further processing by choosing Extras ® Hierarchy graphic.

You can carry out many of the Standard SOP functions from within a hierarchy graphic: product group maintenance (create, change, display), planning, disaggregation, and so on.
