To enforce a fixed structure of the node types in the WBS, you must define the hierarchy on the B.10.07 Node-Type Hierarchy screen.

In addition, the project default ZB_BOMHIER (Free BOM Structure?) must be set to N.

The purpose of this function is to fix the hierarchy in the WBS in order to prevent users from changing it for ongoing projects and to prevent them from making mistakes.

As already explained earlier, the WBS is defined in accordance with project requirements and with reference to a plant layout drawing. A typical fixed hierarchy is shown in the graphic below.

Each node type has an assigned parent node type, except the top node type DISC. This assignment ensures that, for example, lines are only entered within units.
