Purpose
This report is used to either delete or change the assignment of acategory to a product. The report will not only delete the assignment ofa category to a product, but the set data pertaining to the set typesthat belong to that category (for that product) as well. However, if thereport is executed to change the assignment of a category to a product,only the set data pertaining to the set types assigned to the oldcategory, not the new category, will be deleted.
If relationship types have been assigned to the category, these willalso be deleted during recategorization. If no relationship types havebeen assigned to the category however, all relationship types aredisplayed for the product in product maintenance. When a product isrecategorized therefore, relationship data is not deleted if there areno relationship types assigned to the new category.
