Capturing Product Hierarchies for Siebel Medical

To appear in the Siebel Medical 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.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Products.

To capture a product's hierarchy

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the 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 the Siebel Medical application to track inventory. It sets Root, Level, and Leaf Level fields based on the product relationships defined by the primary parent product.
