Yannick Thebault commented on OFBIZ-72:
---------------------------------------

Sorry for late answer but I was very busy last week.

To Chris : No there is no hierarchical structure in UN/SPSC. Every Product Categories defined in UN/SPSC are on same level (ie Product level in product catalog).

To BJ : I thought a long time to your comment and I read again UN/SPSC documents and my conclusion is : UN/SPSC is only defined for product category because it has to be used to classifed products. So I don't think GoodIndentificationType usage is a good solution.

But I know that usage of more than 20000 Product Categories can occurs some performance problem with OFBiz (try to go to Catalog main page after the load of UN/SPSC. You'll send 20000 row in the search drop-down :-) )
