Product Group Graphic 
Definition
This graphic shows you a product group hierarchy. No materials of any product group are initially visible. What you see are the product groups in the hierarchy.
Displaying Descriptions and Materials
The Extras menu provides functions to show further information on a product group within the graphic. You select a product group by positioning the cursor on it and clicking wth the mouse. You can now show or hide any materials that are members of this product group.
You can also show or hide a product group or material description. If you do not select a product group, the system displays all the descriptions of all product groups in the hierarchy.
Displaying Unit of Measure and Proportional Factor
To access additional information on a product group such as its unit of measure or proportional factor, click on the product group and choose Product group → Display.
Accessing Standard SOP Transactions
From within the graphic, you can choose many of the Standard SOP functions: product group maintenance (change, display), planning (create, change, display), or disaggregation (transfer to Demand Management, break down plan, display plan).
You can also carry out the planning functions for materials. You must start by selecting a node in the product group hierarchy. The product group graphic remains in the background. When you exit the transaction, you return to the graphic.
Refreshing a Graphic
If you change the structure of one of the product groups in your graphic by, for example, deleting or adding members, you can refresh the display of the product group hierarchy by choosing Extras → Refresh graphic.
