Setting Up & Using The Product Hierarchy Functionality in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1911
The Product Hierarchy is a highly regarded and requested functionality that has been added to S/4HANA Cloud with the 1911 edition.
This blog post is trying to be a bit different by demonstrating via a video the full setup, from configuration through to master data setup – required to begin using this new functionality in your S/4HANA Cloud system. Hopefully this makes it easy to follow along and test in your own system, and also shows how easily and quickly you can begin leveraging the innovation for your business needs.
The example is set against a (fictional) business objective. Since the video is a bit long, approximate time stamps of topics are shown below – please skip forward to any point of interest:

Hi Andrew,
Its a very good post, thank you for sharing. I have a question on missing Product Hierachy field in app 'Manage Product Master Data' under General Data and Fiori App 'MM01' Basic data 1 view. I am using S4H Public cloud 2208. Previously in ECC product hierachy was there under Basic Data view 1 (MARA-PRDHA). I need product hierachy only as a search function for products not for to determine pricing conditions. I followed the steps of assigning Product to the product hierachy (See the screen shot), Activated the Product Hierachy, but it doesnt show up in basic data view, I also cant search the product using the production hierachy. Appreciate if you can check and let us know if this field is anylonger available in product master-->Basis Data 1 view in public cloud.
