Select the “Edit Product Structure” link under Bill of Material Model” business component.

The “Edit Product Structure” page appears.

Modify the following details, if required:

PS No.	The unique number identifying the product structure. Mandatory.
	Press <Enter> Key.
	The system checks if the PS number is left blank. If it is left blank, then the validations are not performed. If it is not left blank, then the validations for the PS number are performed and the corresponding PS details are retrieved. The product structure should exist in the product structure master. The system retrieves the Business Unit for the “Maintained By” control unit of the product structure from the “Organization Model” business component. If the Business Unit is same as that of the login Organization Unit, then the system does not display an error message. Otherwise, displays an error message. The system retrieves the multiline details in ascending order of the PS sequence and option sequence. The system retrieves the Organization Unit defined in the “Item Administration” business component mapped to the warehouse Organization Unit of the product structure.
	Help facility available.

Note: Product Structure defines the single level bill of material that illustrates the relationship between different input and output items, co-products and by-products. Single level Bill of Material is termed as "Product Structure".

Click “Get” push button to display the retrieved product structure details.
Enter the following details:

PS Desc.	The description of the product structure.

Edit Product Structure – An overview

This page provides the help facility to search the product structure for which you can modify or delete the details.

In order to modify the details of a product structure, you have to enter the code that identifies the product structure or can make use of the help screen. On entering the details in the help screen the system retrieves the corresponding results in the multiline. Once the details are retrieved, you can modify the item and variant together with the fields in the multiline. You can define different input or the secondary output items with the warehouse and plant, quantity and yield, setup and batch quantity, validity dates and quantities, offset time and the criticality of the item. Different position numbers are assigned to the newly added input items and its variants.

This activity also allows you to delete the input items and secondary output items of the product structure. You can delete multiple primary item details using this page. Once the details are retrieved in the multiline, you can select the records containing the input item details and initiate the delete operation. Once the items are deleted the changes gets updated permanently and the product structure is treated as deleted only when the status is changed to ”Inactive”.
