All of these three questions are raised regarding the customizing below via tcode COMM_PRAPPLCAT:

Question1: Product search supports “search by category id”.

However, we can assign different categories with same id on different product hierarchies. See example below:

Question 1: the category id search will only touch categories assigned to a specific hierarchy, or will simply touch all categories with id “ZJERRY” regardless of their assigned hierarchies?
We can first check via test.
First I create two products both assigned with category id ZJERRY but with different hierarchies:

And then I search by ZJERRY, both products are found.

Reason is: The category search implementation simply scans the following two tables connected via category guid, but not hierarchy guid.

Question 2: In product creation, we need to specify a base category. Once F4 help is clicked, we see category search popup dialog with search automatically fired.

Here only hierarchy R3PRODSTYP is used. Why is this very hierarchy?

Answer: when category search is fired, three hiden search parameters are added automatically:
Application: 03
Product_type:01

As a result, R3PRODSTYP from customizing is used.

Question 3: I have assigned several categories for a given product which come from different hierarchy:

In Opportunity WebUI, only category from R3PRODHIER is displayed. Why? Because this hierarchy is assigned to application “01 Sales” in customizing.

The table above represents the default mapping relationship defined in SAP help:
