This tutorial describes the steps to create a product hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of products that are organized into product groups.
The hierarchy that we will configure in the tutorial comes preconfigured and populated with data in the sample Operational Reference Store that is provided in the Resource Kit. Import the sample Operational Reference Store if you want to refer to the completed hierarchy. For more information about the sample Operational Reference Store, see the
Multidomain MDM Sample ORS Guide
.
The hierarchy in the tutorial has two entity types and two relationship types. The entity types are Product Group and Product. The two relationship types are Product Group is parent of Product Group, and Product Group is parent of Product. The data for the entity types are stored in the Product entity base object. The data for the relationship types are stored in the Product Rel relationship base object.
The following image shows a portion of the product hierarchy as it appears in the hierarchy view of the Hub Console Hierarchy Manager:
