Formalize Hierarchies (form_hier)

This task is available to formalize the DPM-enabled hierarchies. Once formalized, users cannot delete the formalized DPM positions from the client. Only the informal position created in the hierarchies listed below will be formalized if this task is scheduled to run. The user can schedule this task on an as-needed basis; currently, this is not part of the daily or weekly batch schedule.

Following is the list of hierarchies that can be formalized using this task:

• Assortment Group (asrt_bper)

• Cluster Version (cver_vers)

• Location Attributes (satr_satv)

• Performance Group (pos1_clst)

• Product (prod_sku)

For only the Product Hierarchy, it will only formalize the selected items by the measure WP Formalize Placeholder Item; for other hierarchies, it will formalize all informal positions present in the hierarchy.

For details about hierarchies, see the Oracle Retail Assortment Planning Cloud Service Implementation Guide.
