# 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.

Note Assignment of a product group to a product is required to view the product in the mobile app.

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Product**, and then select a product.
2. In the Parent Product related list, select **New**.
3. Select a parent product based on the hierarchical information specified in the product’s Criterion Information section.
    
    For example, in Product D’s Criterion section, Product A is the Category level, Product B is Sub Category, and Product C is the Brand. Product B is the parent of Product C, Product A is the parent of Product B, and Product C is the parent for Product D.
4. Provide the validity period of the association within the time frame of the promotion or order.
    
    Only the products with a valid parent role on the process’s commit date or current date are shown in the hierarchy.
5. For structure type, select **Sales**.
6. Save your changes.
