How to: Bulk Insert Stores, Warehouses, and Customers to a Hierarchy Node

The same procedure applies whether you are adding Stores, Warehouses, or Customers to a Hierarchy node: 

  1. Go to LS Retail - Back Office - Product Design - Hierarchies, select a hierarchy of the type Store/Warehouse Loc./Customer (the Type column), and click the Edit Hierarchy action.
  2. In the Type column on the Hierarchy Node Links FastTab, select either Store, Store Group, Warehouse Location, Customer, or Customer Group in the Type field, depending on the type of link you want to add.
  3. To add a selection of stores, warehouses, or customers, click the appropriate action (Add Stores/Add Warehouse Locations/Add Customers) on the Edit Hierarchy page and fill out the filters.

    Note: To add a single store, warehouse, or customer instead of a bulk, click the arrow in the No. column and select from the list.
