What are Article Hierarchies/Bills of Materials?

Article hierarchies and bills of materials enable the structured representation of composite products.

Basic Requirements for Article Hierarchies

  • Each bill of materials must be linked to individual articles (including GTINs/EANs)
  • Bills of materials should contain corresponding sub-positions in appropriate numbers with article prices
  • Prices should (if possible) be listed at the level of the individual sub-positions

  • Artikelhierarchie-SKU-Breakdown
    • Create a copy and complete the following item hierarchy SKU breakdown: Artikelhierarchie-SKU-Breakdown
    • Procuros will then use this item hierarchy to process and send the documents to trading partners correctly

The correct representation of article hierarchies is important, as many trading partners expect these to be correctly displayed in invoices.
