Hierarchy
Hierarchies are used to model the relationships between master data objects of an object type (SAP F&R uses object types product
and Location
).
Once you have created a hierarchy structure in Customizing for structure types hierarchy
and extended hierarchy
, you can transfer the hierarchies to SAP F&R through the interface or create them manually. You can then change and delete them in hierarchy maintenance. To maintain hierarchies manually, go to the SAP Easy Access
screen and choose 
Forecasting and Replenishment
Master Data
Maintain Hierarchy
.
You can create extended hierarchies for object type Location, such as DIF location hierarchies. For more information, see Location Group.
You can create hierarchies for object type product, such as material category hierarchies. You cannot use extended hierarchies here. For more information, see Product Hierarchy.
