Merchandise category vs article hierarchy vs product hierarchy in retail system

1819 Views

Hello SCN,

I have a quick question, I have read a lot of information but I couldn't find an answer, sorry for that...I don't have very clear the difference between merchandise category and article hierarchy and product category

In this system we are working with retail (IS) so we have to create the Merchandise category for our articles and according the documentation that I have read basically is very similar to the Material group in MM (is this correct?), in the company where I am they have brands and sub-brands and they have articles very similar, the only difference is that they belong to different brands I.E

My question is... is a good practice to create in the merchandise category Tshirt, Pants, Shorts Twice or more than twice depending in how many brands they are (I think is not the good idea)? or should be created just one time and if we want to display this information by brand should be created in the article hierarchy or product hierarchy?

Basically is how to obtain in a report the sales for t-shirts of Sub-brand1? or just the sales for other sub-brand

Please let me know if is clear my question

thanks :)
