Maintaining Item Category Hierarchies
This page provides setup information for the Web Store and Web Requisition Category hierarchies. You may establish category hierarchies for your own Web Store or your Requisition function, by assigning parent and child category relationships.
For example, suppose you are designing a requisition order system and want to offer office furniture under the category "Office Furniture." Assume you have several subordinate categories such as Desks, Chairs, Bookcases, and Computers. You will need to set up one "Top" category and then relate each furniture category type as "Child" categories to that "Top" category. Each of the furniture types is a "Related Category." The result of setting up this hierarchy is:
Prerequisites
Create category sets in Oracle Inventory.
To set up a hierarchy:
1. Select a category set from list of values
2. Enter the category name, or select a category from the list of values.
3. Select a relation for the category. Select Top if this is an initial or top level category (Furniture, for example). Select Child to make this a parent category for the one you will enter for the Related Category.
4. Enter a related category (Desks, for example), or the next subordinate category, if there is one.
If the Child level category has subcategories of its own, continue the structure by entering the Child level category in the Category field, then enter the subordinate category in the Related Category field.
