Note: The hierarchy is intended for the creation and management of physical stock items only. It cannot contain items of the types, Miscellaneous or Service/Labour. If you need to create and use Miscellaneous or Service/Labour stock item types, do this in the Stock Control module.
After setting up the structure of your company, you should set up the structure of your stock items.
The Merchandise Hierarchy Setup window should be set up to mirror how you organise your products. For example, you may have products that are organised by clothing, menswear and trousers. Your hierarchy should be edited to mirror this structure.
You can add up to nine levels in your hierarchy. The last level must be assigned as a product.
Note: You cannot edit the Merchandise Hierarchy set up once a product item has been added and saved. But you can add to the structure in the Merchandise Hierarchy Maintenance window.
Open: Retail > System Set Up > Merchandise Hierarchy Setup.
You can now add the products to the structure.
