Item Category as Dimension

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 103

In the Item Card we have this field called Item Category Code is possible to use this category as dimension in a Sales Report Analysis or just in a regular dimension analysis?

    Hi, I think this is not possible in standard functions.
    But you can manually create a Dimension of Item Category Code to keep them the same value.

    You can also do a small customization that automatically updates the default dimension when you update the Item Category Code on the page.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    To add to other comments. If you want to take the data to Excel (thatnavguy.wordpress.com/.../) or Power Bi then you can use that. You basically create a relationship and add a new column to report that uses item category.

    What you do not get with wordpress or power bi is financial reporting based on your item category. If you setup as a dimension, you can then do financial analysis by categroy.
