How to get product structure in SAP PLM?

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have requirement of developing report for SAP PLM - Product structure. In this report node and variants will be displayed in tree format. Now we can get node and variants from table PNODID and POSVID. Node hierarchy from FM PVSHI_PNCMP_READ. But problem is how to identify which node is created first so that we can display nodes in report as they are appearing in structure.

Example:

Structure

1 Main node

     - 1.1 Node1

          - 1.1.1 Node11

               -1.1.1.1 Variant111

     - 1.2 Node2

          ...

     - 1.3 Node3

          ...

So we can get Node and variants and structure hierarchy. But how to identify which node is created first if node belongs to same parents. In above example how to identify Node1 is first child than node 2 and than node 3.

Thank you,

Nikhil

Hello,

Node hierarchy can be read in sorted form from method PRELID_READ of class CL_PPEXIENG_CNTL.

Issue resolved.

Thanks,

Nikhil,

This may not satisfy your requirements but CARD.de offer a Product Structure Report (works with both iPPE & PLM7 PSM).
