Pure product categories cannot be created by OData, hence the Data Workbench will also only allow subnodes to be added.

The field HIERARCHY_ID has to contain your existing product category, for example ABC (where ABC represents the product category).

If you now create sub-entities, you have to maintain the fields like below, for example:

• As Hierarchy_ID KLM (where KLM represents a Hierarchy ID).
• As Product_Category_ID the new ID (please ensure not to use leading spaces here!).
• As Parent_Product_Category_ID an existing category (for example, XYZ (where XYZ may also be the root ID)).
