Here are some commonly used category hierarchy types and their explanations:
Product Category Hierarchy: This type is primarily used for organizing items based on their product attributes. It allows you to create a hierarchical structure that represents the product classification in your business, such as product types, brands, or models.
Retail Category Hierarchy: This type is specifically designed for the retail industry. It helps in organizing items based on their retail attributes, such as departments, categories, and subcategories. It allows retailers to manage their inventory and pricing based on the retail taxonomy. For more details: About retail hierarchies | Microsoft Learn.
Commerce Category Hierarchy: Similar to the retail category hierarchy, the commerce category hierarchy is designed for managing items in an e-commerce environment. It enables the categorization of products and helps in navigation and search on the e-commerce website. For more details: Commerce hierarchies - Commerce | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn.
Project Category Hierarchy: This type is used for organizing items based on project attributes. It allows you to structure items related to specific projects, such as phases, tasks, or deliverables. This hierarchy is useful when managing project-based work, tracking costs, and analyzing project performance.
