Documentation

Definition

Material type PROD denotes product groups.

Supplementary Documentation - PRODH_D 0001

Use

The product hierarchy on the "Engineering/Design" screen is used to depict the competitive materials of competitor 1 in relation to those of competitor 2. Here, your own company and its materials are also regarded as a competitor and as competitive materials respectively. You can use this representation as a basis for market analyses.

Procedure

You normally enter competitive materials using material type WETT. When entering your own materials as competitive materials, you can, however, display the product hierarchy on the "Engineering/Design" screen for other material types too.

Dependencies

In the above instance, please note the following points:

  • If you have created materials at sales organization level, a warning is issued on the "Engineering/Design" screen that the product hierarchy may differ at sales organization level.
  • When creating new records at sales organization level, the product hierarchy from the "Engineering/Design" screen is proposed.
