Understanding the Commodity Structure Program
Use the Commodity Structure program (P40500) to create the commodity structure. When you add a commodity, you enter the commodity, a description, whether it is a product, service, or both, and the line type. You can also enter a buyer number and a G/L class code. You must enter this basic commodity data and save it before entering any relationship information.
After you add each commodity, you can cut and paste the commodities into the appropriate level of the hierarchy. You can create up to three levels in the structure.
You can also move nodes within the structure; however, you cannot move a node if moving the node would create more than three levels in the structure. When you move a node, the system moves any children that are associated with the node.
