• Key Concepts: 
  Material group hierarchy is a feature of the IS-R SAP for Retail system that allows users to organize and classify materials into different groups. This hierarchical structure allows users to easily find and access materials, as well as to quickly identify related materials. The hierarchy is based on the material group code, which is a unique identifier assigned to each material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The material group hierarchy can be used to organize materials into different categories, such as product type, brand, or supplier. This allows users to quickly find and access materials that are related to each other. The hierarchy can also be used to assign different levels of access rights to different users, allowing them to view and edit only the materials they need. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a material group hierarchy, it is important to consider how the hierarchy will be used. For example, if the hierarchy is used for product classification, it should be organized in a way that makes it easy for users to find and access related materials. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the material group codes are unique and easy to remember.
