About Product Denormalization

In Product Denormalization mode, Assignment Manager denormalizes organizations from the Price List table into the Product table by copying these organizations to the products associated with the price lists.

NOTE:  Product to Price List is a many-to-many relationship.

Assignment Manager also assigns a primary organization to the product when running in denormalization mode using the following methodology:

1. If the Set Primary Organization flag is checked and a primary organization is not currently selected, then Assignment Manager sets the creator's primary organization as the new primary organization.
2. If a primary organization is not selected for the creator, then Assignment Manager sets the default organization as the new primary organization.
3. If a default organization is not defined, then Assignment Manager does not set a primary organization.

The Product Denormalization object is reserved to run Assignment Manager in Product Denormalization mode. Assignment Manager does not evaluate the Product object against any assignment rules in Product Denormalization mode, and therefore does not assign organizations to objects. For this reason, do not create assignment rules for the Product Denormalization object. Additionally, you should run Product Denormalization only in batch mode. For more information about running Batch Assignment, see Running Assignment Manager in Batch Mode.
