Using Merchandise Hierarchy to Analyze Sales and Item Performance
A major benefit of the Merchandise Hierarchy feature is the ability to organize sales and item performance data in SuiteAnalytics workbooks and custom reports. You can enhance your sales workbooks and reports by including merchandise hierarchy elements such as levels and nodes. These elements help you to group and organize data in the reports by product classifications. With Merchandise Hierarchy, you can visualize sales by company branches, groups, departments, classes, or even attributes.
You can create workbooks and custom reports that include merchandise hierarchy internal custom fields combined with any other NetSuite field.
In NetSuite, you can use any of the following tools to analyze sales and item performance:
-
SuiteAnalytics Workbook – analytical tool available in NetSuite for creating highly customizable workbooks that combine queries, pivot tables, and charts. For more information, see SuiteAnalytics Workbook and Merchandise Hierarchy.
-
Report Builder – a tool you can use to customize reports' data and formatting. For more information, see Creating Merchandise Hierarchy Reports.
-
