Same names in product category

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 495

Hello Experts,

I need some help in implementing product category in AX 2012 R2. I cannot use the same name twice even though the names are used under different parent nodes. I get the following error:

Cannot edit a record in Category (EcoResCategory). Name:*********
The record already exists.

This is an example of my setup:

Cat_1 Cat_2 Cat_3 Cat_4
cat_1 cat_21 Cat_31 Cat_4

It wont allow me do this as it is saying record already exists

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    That's valid error as per the table definition, the same name is not allowed as a child to different categories.

    May be you can review category hierarchies to get an idea.

    Best,
