• Key Concepts: 
  A structure node is a component of the SAP AP-PPE FND Integrated Product and Process Engineering (IPPE) module. It is used to define the structure of a product or process, such as its components, sub-components, and related information. Structure nodes are used to create a hierarchical structure of the product or process, which can then be used to manage and track the progress of the product or process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Structure nodes can be created in the IPPE module by selecting the “Create Structure Node” option from the menu. Once created, structure nodes can be linked together to form a hierarchical structure. This structure can then be used to manage and track the progress of the product or process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating structure nodes, it is important to ensure that they are properly linked together in order to create an accurate representation of the product or process. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in each node in order to accurately track progress.
