Hi

Is it possible to assign a field value to another field through MDM Assignment?

Both are of type Text.

Yes. If you have field A and you want to copy the value to field B your assignment would be like this:

Assignment Field: B

Assignment Expression: A

You simply select the field from the drop down list and that's all you have to do. You don't need a function or anything like that.

Hi Bala

Displaying the parent category in a publication

SAP Note Number: 1393388

Symptom

You may want to display in your catalog the parent category of your products.

Other terms

Publisher, Publication, Layout, Catalog

Reason and Prerequisites

For example, you have in your taxonomy the following Hierarchy:

Tools->

Hand Tools->

Hammers.

Your products are assigned to the leaf node, Hammers.

However, in your publication, you may want to display also the parent category node, Hand Tools.

Solution

The solution is with the use of an assignment.

1. Create a text field in the main table, call it "Parent Category" for example.

2. Create in Data Manager an assignment.

The Assignment Field is the text field "Parent Category".

The assignment is Fields-> Category-> Parent-> Name.

3. Execute the assignment on the relevant published records.

The parent category will be assigned to the text field "Parent Category".

4. Now, you may use this field in Publisher.
