Hello,
I have to build a merchandise hierarchy for a client. They are proposing to have a hierarchy in which at the first level we have differentiation by brand. However, in this way, they are creating redundancies.
It would be something like this:
..................................................................L2 SOAP1
......................................L1 BRAND1 ........L2 PERFUME1
..................................................................L2 ANCILLARIES1
L0 - COMPANY
....................................................................L2 SOAP2
.....................................L1 BRAND2 ..........L2 PERFUME2
....................................................................L2 ANCILLARIES2
In my opinion this is inefficient and creates redundancies. I would like to know, in your experience, if this is suitable or should I suggest the client to make a hierarchy without classification for brand.
Can you please tell me advantages and drawbacks of such choice? thanks in advance
