With this feature, you can now replicate time-dependent article hierarchies from your SAP ERP system to the Demand Data Foundation module in SAP Customer Activity Repository. Previously, you could only replicate SAP ERP article hierarchies with status Active or Disabled. Time-dependent article hierarchies have status Planned. They only become active during the defined validity period in the future.

You can set up the replication using the new Control Parameters for Product Hierarchies Customizing activity under  Cross-Application Components Demand Data Foundation Data Maintenance Product Hierarchy . For more information, see the accompanying documentation (transaction SPRO). For more information about replicating master data, see Master Data Replication from SAP ERP to Demand Data Foundation.
