Capturing Product Hierarchies for Medical Handheld

To appear in a Medical Handheld inventory detail view, a product must belong to a product hierarchy that has been captured. The following procedure describes how to capture a product hierarchy.

NOTE:  Remember to recapture the hierarchy after editing the relationships between products.

To capture a product's hierarchy

1. Navigate to the Product Administration screen > Products view.
2. Select the root products whose hierarchies you want to capture.

   If you select a product that is not a root, that product is ignored. A dialog box lists these ignore records.

3. Click Capture Hierarchy.

   This prepares the product data so that it can be used by Medical Handheld application to track inventory. It sets Root, Level, and Leaf Level fields based on the product relationships defined by the primary parent product.
