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.
