Sap Public Cloud Product Hierarchy in Margin Analysis

[Former Member]

Good evening,

I’ve a question about Sales Product Hierarchy (SAP Public cloud), i proceeded to perform the setting steps:

• Configure Nodes for Product Hierarchies
• Create new Hierarchy
• Manage Product Hierarchy assignment
• Define Relevant Date for product hierarchy determination (we did’nt perform this step which seems to be optional)

i see Product hierarchy information on material master data by app Manage Product Master data and the information is also available on Sales B view of sales order.

When I run for example Product and Services Margin report, i can see product hierarchy level in this way--> select product and open the hierarchy dropdown list.

My doubt  concerns the available field among those in addition to the product that instead appears to be not assigned.

Is this field being used for a different purpose?

From what I understand you can convert the various product hierarchy nodes to attributes but I cannot understand the functionality of the product hierarchy field already available at the reporting level.

There are also no example on how to convert Hierarchy to Attribute by CDS custom view….

Hello,

the field 'Product Hierarchy' in I_Product (Product master data) does not provide any data.

To get the actual hierarchy data, there is a CDS View called I_ProdUnivHierarchyNodeBasic: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0f69f8fb28ac4bf48d2b57b9637e81fa/4cd06dc991514ed58e16bc84...

'This CDS view provides the list of product hierarchy nodes in each product hierarchy available in the system.'

This CDS View can be used for In-App-Extensibility requirements.

But in general, enabling the hierarchies (created in 'Manage global hierarchies') in your standard reports, should be the standard way, even without using the field 'Product hierarchy' as a additional attribute.

Best regards,

Sascha
