• Key Concepts: 
  Work center hierarchy is a component of SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to organize and manage work centers in a hierarchical structure. This structure can be used to define the relationships between different work centers, such as which work centers are responsible for which tasks, and how they are related to each other. The hierarchy also allows users to assign tasks to specific work centers, as well as to track the progress of tasks across multiple work centers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the work center hierarchy, users must first create a hierarchy of work centers. This can be done by creating a parent-child relationship between different work centers, or by assigning tasks to specific work centers. Once the hierarchy is created, users can then assign tasks to specific work centers and track the progress of tasks across multiple work centers. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a work center hierarchy, it is important to consider the relationships between different work centers and how they are related to each other. This will help ensure that tasks are assigned correctly and that progress is tracked accurately. Additionally, it is important to keep the hierarchy up-to-date in order to ensure that tasks are assigned correctly and that progress is tracked accurately.
