Assign a Parent Product to a Product

Assign a Parent Product or Product Group to another product group or to a product level in the dynamic product hierarchy. Generally, product hierarchy information is fetched from an ERP system, but you can manually define parent products for products and product groups. To add a product to a hierarchy that is valid for a specific time, assign a parent to the product.
