Hi Narasimha

It is a long process

First you have to create your structure of product hierarchy. The field PRODH in T179 is a 18character field and is divided into 3 levels of 5, 5, 8 characters each. This can be changed for your convenience. Say you use only first 15 characters and they are divided into 4 levels each with 2, 4, 4, 5 characters respectively.

Now you have to maintain values. First you have to upload all your level1 nodes. These nodes will have only 2characters and their description. Without uploading a preceding node, you cannot upload the next level node. So you have to upload the first level node first.Now if you see, all the first levels will be there say for ex 00, 01, 02, 03, 04 etc.

Now you have to upload the second level of these first level nodes. Say 00A123(A123 is the second level), 01B786 etc. Like this all the second level nodes need to be updated.

Once this is done, upload the 3rd level node. For example it will be 00A123CHAR. Like this all the 3rd level nodes for all the second level nodes can be maintained.

Now the last level has to be maintained like 00A123CHARSAY01. Now the entire 15characters is uploaded. This is the way in which you have to upload.

For mass upload, LSMW is the best option. You can also take the help of ABAPer to write a program, or you can even try with CATT if the number of records are only few thousands/

Hope this helps
