 Define Hierarchy Structure for BOD and Region Pattern

Use

If you work with bills of distribution(BODs) or region patterns in Spare Parts Planning (SPP), you must first specify which hierarchy structure for location hierarchies is to be used as the hierarchy structure for BODs or region patterns. You can define just one hierarchy structure as the hierarchy structure for BODs or region patterns.

Prerequisites

Via the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP SCM under Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Hierarchy Next navigation step Define Hierarchy Structure, End of the navigation path you have defined a hierarchy structure for location hierarchies that you wish to use as the hierarchy structure for BODs or region patterns. This hierarchy structure determines the maximum possible number of hierarchy levels of all BODs or region patterns you create.l

Procedure

  1. In the IMG for SAP SCM Advanced Planning and Optimization , choose Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Product Next navigation step Maintain Product-Relevant Hierarchies and Hierarchy Structures End of the navigation path .

  2. In the relevant field, enter the name of the hierarchy structure you wish to use as the BOD hierarchy structure or as the hierarchy structure for region patterns.

  3. Save your input.

Result

When you create a BOD or a region pattern, the system automatically selects the structure specified here as the underlying hierarchy structure.
