Hierarchies (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP Supplier Relationship Management 7.0 (SAP SRM 7.0), you can use enhanced hierarchies, in addition to the existing hierarchies in Sourcing, to support highly structured service requirements in your procurement processes.

Hierarchies are supported in Sourcing and Supplier Self-Services. For shopping carts, however, hierarchies are only supported when they have been created based on external requirements with hierarchies. In other words, you cannot create shopping carts in SAP SRM and then build hierarchies.

You can use outline items to structure service requirements and break them down into their smallest components using configurable item numbering. Outline items are purely informational and allow you to group subline items. They must contain at least one subline item and do not trigger follow-on processes. Subline items can be either outline items or line items. Contrary to outline items, line items contain accounting information and trigger follow-on processes.

In a hierarchy, both services and materials are allowed, unless the hierarchy is based on a service item purchase requisition created in SAP Materials Management. In this case, it can contain only services and up to five levels. If a hierarchy is SAP SRM-based, no restrictions apply.

You can roll down prices, and other information, such as business partners, delivery date, and account assignment, to lower levels. Similarly, you can roll up prices from lower levels and sum them up.
