Levels

You can define variations within a product as multiple levels in the product hierarchy. You can define color, size, style, and other variations as different levels in the hierarchy. You may have up to 10 levels in the product hierarchy. The first level is style item root level 0, which defines the basic attributes, such as style and other generic information. Lower levels in the product hierarchy inherit the basic attributes from the style item root level 0. You can attach the levels to a specific structure or structures by using the Item Level Type program (PCW011). The system stores the level types in the Item Level Type table (FCW011).

You can control levels in the product hierarchy using other attributes. The level that describes color gets its attributes from a user-defined code (UDC), and you control the level at which you define size with a size matrix grid.
