Hi
We want to switch from our homemade ERP.
Context
Our items are defined as so (metal parts).
Each metal piece has a:
- Category (matter)
- Subcategory (forge type)
- Provider
- Country (origin)
- Brand
- Quality
- Dimensions (length, width, height)
First requirement
We DO need to have all theses information in separate "field" to analyse the sales by provider/country/dimensions/....
Second requirement
For some products the dimensions of the item we have on the bill are not the real ones, but "market-standard dimensions" (market requirement). In our current ERP we do associate to each product a list of "potential market-standard dimensions" that we can pick and set on the bill for this item (this has only a visual impact on the document we do print for the customer).
Question
The issue is that with NAV, I am not sure how to setup this. How to obtain a category/subcategory hierarchy ? Are attributes the only way to achieve it ? Is there no way to have a hierarchy of item ?
What about AX ?
Could you please advice (or reference some doc) on how NAV or AX could answer to our requirement ?
Regards
