Dear Experts

On Item, we have an option for selecting the item category code. if select on one category code we can't able to see in item page that selected category comes under which parent category.

how can we bring that parent category on item page and item list page

Here in eg: we selected HID SPARES (but it comes under the CIHHIDS) how can we bring this parent CIHHID On list page and item card page of all items

I have the same question (0)

For that you will need a customization and i think a good option would be to put information like that in a fact box connected to the item card.

There is no standard feature that will let you see the whole item category hierarchy on the item card.

The closest feature you have with standard functionality is item attributes.

Where you have a hierarchical category structure, create an attribute with the same name for each level of the category hierarchy and assign each attribute to the category.

When you assign a category that is for example the 3rd level of the hierarchy, the item will pick up the attribute of each level of the category structure. You now have all three levels assigned to the item.

In the items list, you can now filter items by attribute and filter by any level of the category hierarchy as the item has attributes for every level.

You can see attributes in the fact box but not directly on the list view without customisation.

This works seamlessly. The only limitations are if for example you want to use MRP and filter planning by attributes as you can’t do that. But if you just want to manage list views, it solves your problem.

you just need to create a new page type cardpart copying the existing page 5730 into the new one and make some adjustments

then you need to extend the item card

Hi, This requires customization.

This requires customization. There is a Parent Category field in this table, so you can display it through FlowField, or other variables.

For example,

tableextension 50111 MyExtension extends Item { fields { field(50100; "Parent Category"; Code[20]) { Caption = 'Parent Category'; FieldClass = FlowField; CalcFormula = lookup("Item Category"."Parent Category" where(Code = field("Item Category Code"))); } } } pageextension 50111 MyExtension extends "Item Card" { layout { addafter("Item Category Code") { field("Parent Category"; Rec."Parent Category") { ApplicationArea = All; } } } }

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

ZHU
