Split one row into two rows

Hi All,

 

I have an issue, and don't know if it is even possible:

 

We have some products we sell and some combination of products we sell.

For a production dashboard, I have to split some combined products back to the single product.

 

 

The combined products are

ACN for NORMAL TO OILY SKIN is a combination of:

  • 1 ACN cream
  • 1 ACN Wash

ACN+ for DRY SKIN is a combination of:

  • 1 ACN+ cream
  • 1 ACN+ wash

 

So we make a production assumption based on LxxD, Order quantity, current stock and safety stock. The problem is, that we should split up de combined products in their single product.

 

So in the example above, we should hide de row ACN for NORMAL TO OILY SKIN (673 products), but increase ACN cream with 673 products and ACN Wash with 673 products.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks!!!

    you need a flag in your Product dimension  telling if product is a component or combination

    or you can create mini hierarchy in the data - only report the component products, with combinations being the higher level in Product dimension

     

    one way or the other you will need to change your tables

      Hmmmmm.... thanks for the quick answer... the problem is that the date comes out Salesforce,... so the table can't be changed.

      If there is any other way... else I have to check for another solution...

       

      Thanks,

      Dennis

        could it be that this field is availabel in the system, but is not extracted? right now it's basically doublecounting, so I would be surprised if the system didn't have option to avoid that

         

        otherwise, if there is a logic that you can apply to identify all this products then we can have a look into implementing it

        examples that you describe make sense for a person, but are not structured enough to write some code, e.g. I have no clue if it works for SKN products

         

        you could always do the mapping manually and blend it with your SalesForce data
