Choosing the catalog organization for an electronics company

The decision about the hierarchy level at which you should have your catalog organizations defined depends on several factors.

• The catalog organization needs to be at the same level as the inventory organization or above.
• As with other setups, setting up the catalog organization at a higher level causes lesser setup and facilitates the sharing of common definitions.
• When making this decision determine whether or not item identifiers can be rationalized to have unique global identifiers within the business group or some level below it. Since item identifiers are unique for a catalog organization, this is a mandatory requirement for being able to push this definition to a higher level.
