Editing Product Structure Configuration
A Product Structure configuration defines how product relationships are displayed and managed. It determines which product records appear in a hierarchical view and which key details are visible for each level. You can use this configuration to control the presentation and behavior of the Product Structure Lightning component on objects, such as, Product, Account, Work Order, and so on ensuring that users see relevant and contextual information when exploring assemblies, subassemblies, and parts.
You can edit a Product Structure configuration to customize how data is filtered and displayed, aligning it with organizational requirements. You can modify existing settings such as selection criteria and display fields—to ensure that the Product Structure view remains accurate, informative, and user-friendly.

You cannot create, delete or clone the configuration.

This flexibility helps improve visibility across complex product hierarchies, supports service diagnostics, and enhances the technician’s ability to identify related components efficiently.
