Suppose I have products organized in the following categories:
Home
Home / Batteries
Automotive
Automotive / Batteries
If I want to get a list of products that are only in ‘Home / Batteries’ or ‘Automotive / Batteries’, I can go to Product / Categories and simply click on one of these two categories.
But if a product is in both the two categories ( ‘Home / Batteries’ and ‘Automotive / Batteries’), how do I go about finding that out?
This feature should be included in Tryton by default.
Then I could also create the following categories:
Home
Automotive
Batteries
And then, for example, I could get batteries that are for just home use (Home AND Automotive), or for all types of batteries (Batteries).
However, if I want to use this in Sales reporting, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious way to do it:
If one wants to view Sales Reporting for products that are in both categories (Automotive and Home), there’s no option to select multiple categories.
Same goes for profit reporting in Products / Reporting / Margins.
If I have products in two categories, and want to view profits for those, there’s no simple way of doing so.
Here’s another typical scenario: A seller of shoes might choose to categorize products as follows:
Children
Men
Sneakers
Football shoes
Children’s sneakers are given categories [Children, Sneakers].
Men’s sneakers are given categories [Men, Sneakers].
How to view sales and profit reporting in this case for Children’s sneakers? No obvious way in this case in which categorization is polyhierarchical.
