Hi all,
One of my client's company uses DAX 2012 and have approximately 15.000 released product. Recently we discovered that the product dimension (size, color, etc) feature was not fully used and most of those products are released without any product dimension attached to it, resulting in duplication of products because of the supposed to be dimension variation are put into product code and product dimension, example :
00212 - Biscuit Vanilla Large
00213 - Biscuit Chocolate Large
etc.
So the 'biscuit' product duplicated about 10 times to accomodate different sizes and flavors.
My question is is that possible for us to add product dimension (size, flavor) to existing product master to create some product variants and 'deactivate' the duplicates to a bit cleanse the master product list?
This system has been run for several years and there are already quite large amount of transaction involved historically.
Appreciate any help. Thanks !
Chris
Gents, thank you for your answers, sorry to respond a bit late, got an emergency family matters that require my attention for a while.
So it is confirmed that we need to re-create the product master one-by-one and as Sohaib Cheema said, it might raise some difficulties with users that already use the old-concept for a while.
Anyway, thank you.
Cheers !
I do agree with Andre', you need to do this all manual
1) create new/replacement items
2) transfer OB from to new items
3) block usage of old items
from usage point of view, users may face bit difficulty with change of model from Product to Product Master as they might not be in a habit to choose dimensions at this moment; whereas with model they have to select dimensions (color, size etc.) with each transaction
It is not good idea to change the dimension group after long times. you can create new item with required dimension and proceed. If you are so keen in inventory transaction and integration with other model end to end, you can try but it will be very complex. there is no OOB functionality for same. Safer site please go with new creation.
Hi Chris,
There is no functional support for this. I would recommend to create new items to prevent other possilble problems. Data manipulation is not the way I woulf advice. The inventory posting is quitre difficult and easy to break with manual interference.
