• Key Concepts: 
  Product Category Hierarchy is a component of SAP Property Management that allows users to create and manage a hierarchical structure of product categories. This structure can be used to organize products and services into logical groups, making it easier to search for and find the desired items. The hierarchy can also be used to assign different levels of access rights to different users, allowing them to view and manage only the categories they are authorized to access. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Product Category Hierarchy, users must first create a hierarchy structure. This can be done by creating a root node, which is the top-level category, and then adding sub-categories beneath it. Each sub-category can have its own set of attributes, such as description, price, and availability. Once the hierarchy is created, users can assign different levels of access rights to different users or groups. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Product Category Hierarchy, it is important to consider how the structure will be used. For example, if the hierarchy is being used for product search purposes, then it should be organized in a way that makes it easy for users to find what they are looking for. Additionally, when assigning access rights, it is important to consider who needs access to what categories and why.
