Note:

In addition to the standard steps for creating Rules, the procedure for creating Product Characteristics involves one extra step. After Standard Steps, you must select a product hierarchy. You can define methodologies at any level of the hierarchical product dimension. The hierarchical relationship between the nodes allows the inheritance of methodologies from parent nodes to child nodes.
