Manage Functional Area catalog

Content

Our Client requirement is to create hierarchy structure for Catalog for UNSPSC. I am aware that we can not create hierarchy for Inventory and Purchasing Functional area and can create hierarchy if we don't assign any functional area to the catalog.

Request your insights on what are implications if we donot assign Inventory/Purchasing functional area to the catalog. One thing is there will be no automatic category assignment when creating Items. What are the other areas which gets impacted in Purchasing and Inventory side ?
