Hi,

Is any one has experienced in Creating product category hierarchy in SRM7.0?

Also how we can replicate the material group hierarchy from ECC to SRM7.0?

I have exactly the same question re creating the product category hierarchy in SRM 7.0. How did you resolve it in the end?

According to SAP OSS it is possible to create a hierarchy in ERP and replicate it to SRM (ref OSS note 369384).

Thanks,

Is indeed material group hierarchy exist in ECC ?

I believe you can create own custome hierarchy in SRM and upload programs rather bring from ECC .

it becomes source system of product category becomes SRM system thats all

you need development for this . Business has to provide hierarchy list and excel file and upload in to program and it must seen from COMM_HIERARCHY TRANSACTION.

BUT ONE BAD STUFF HERE , you can not change this again and you need to upload all atuffs again and deactivate above old ..

Hi all,

How are you?

I´ve seen some scenarios where clients have product category maintained in R/3 (SPRO / Logistics - General / Material master / Settings for key fields / Define Material groups).

You can use LSMW to create product categories.

Then you have to replicate those categories / Material groups to SRM. You can do this by Midleware (transaction R3AS). You can see hierarchys in srm at transaction comm_hierarchy.

Hope this helps,
