  Key Concepts: 
  Planning product hierarchy is a component of Customer Business Planning (CBP) in SAP. It is used to define the structure of products and services that are planned and managed in the system. The hierarchy consists of nodes that represent different levels of the product structure, such as product groups, product categories, and individual products. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The planning product hierarchy can be used to create a structure for planning and managing products and services. This structure can be used to define the relationships between different products and services, as well as to assign specific characteristics to each product or service. The hierarchy can also be used to create reports that provide an overview of the product structure. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a planning product hierarchy, it is important to consider how the different levels of the hierarchy will be used. For example, if a company plans to use the hierarchy for reporting purposes, it may be beneficial to create additional nodes in the hierarchy that are not related to individual products or services. This will allow for more detailed reporting on the overall product structure.
