Dear Customer,

In standard product hierarchy is structured via data dictionary

structure PRODHS. In the standard system, a product hierarchy can be

created with up to three levels. The individual levels contain the

following number of digits

Level No of Digits allowed Example Description

1 5 00001 Electrical Appliances

2 5 00002 Household Appliances

3 8 00000003 Wet Appliances

(18 characters in total).

As you can see, in the standard system, the first and second levels

have five digits and the third level has eight. The maximum number of

digits is eighteen.

Based on this when you look at your hierarchy, set up in transaction v/76

and you see there a diferent between SE11 and V/76 this makes no sense.

There must be a equal relationship to funtion correctly.

If you want to use hierarchy you must have the same levels maintained

in V/76 and in PRODHS.

Following this you shoud be able to carry

out your initial issue.
