Re-creating Product Hierarchies in Inventory Locations with Siebel Medical Handheld Applications

After creating an inventory location, you define which product, product classes, and product groups are tracked in that inventory location. You can use the generate hierarchy command to re-create product hierarchies in an inventory location. You must define product hierarchies for an inventory location so that sales representatives are able to view inventory and usage results in a hierarchical manner in the product hierarchy views.

To re-create product hierarchies in an inventory location

1. Navigate to the Inventory screen - My Inventory Locations list.
2. Select an inventory location from the My Inventory Locations list, and then click on the hyperlink in the Name field.

   The Product Inventory view for this Inventory location appears.

3. In Product Inventory list create a new record.
4. Click the select button in the Product field.

   The Pick Product picklist appears.

5. Select a product from picklist, and click OK.
6. In the External Location form, click Generate Hierarchy.

   Clicking the Generate Hierarchy button launches a business service that creates new product inventory records for all products belonging to the same product hierarchy that the product you select belongs. For each product inventory record created, corresponding records in the Inventory Level list are also created for On-Hand Goods inventory.
