Creating a Product Group 
- From the main menu of standard SOP, choose Product group → Create.
The initial screen for creating a planning hierarchy appears.
- Enter a description, a plant, a unit of measure, and⎯if required ⎯a number for the product group. Both external and internal number assignment are possible.
- Indicate whether the product group members are to be materials or product groups.
- Choose ENTER.
A master record is created for your product group and the screen for product group maintenance appears.
- Specify your product group members in one of two ways:
– Enter them manually
– Choose them with Edit → Selection list → Parameters or Edit → Selection list → Classification
- Enter the proportional, aggregation, and conversion factors of each product group member.
See also Product Group Maintenance Functions.
- To specify master data for a member, place the cursor on it and choose Extras → Master data.
This step is optional.
- To assign members to a product group at the next level down, place the cursor on it and choose Goto → Assign members (or double-click on it with the mouse).
A dialog box appears.
- Specify whether the members are to be materials or product groups.
Steps 8 and 9 are not relevant if your product group is single-level, that is, if you selected materials as your members on the initial screen.
- Choose Continue.
You can continue assigning members to product groups until your reach material level.
- To save your product group hierarchy, choose Product group → Save.
