Item hierarchy
Hint
Setting up a good item hierarchy is important if you are interested in the demand forecasting functionality. Otherwise, you can skip modeling an item hierarchy.
Using the owner field the items can be organized in a hierarhical tree structure. This allows, among other, reviewing the forecast at different levels in the Forecast editor.
Here is an example to model a tree structure with families and brands:
Name |
Owner |
|---|---|
All items |
|
Family 1 |
All items |
Brand 1A |
Family 1 |
Brand 1B |
Family 1 |
Family 2 |
All items |
Brand 2A |
Family 2 |
Brand 2B |
