Brand and license hierarchy management system

A method for brand and license hierarchy management implemented on at least one processor, the method comprising:

• storing a data model in a computer-readable medium, the data model comprising:
• a hierarchical structure configured for nesting primary and secondary information, including data fields that indicate:
• at least one of brand or license information, and
• whether factory tracking is required;
• and
• executing, by the at least one processor, first instructions comprising logic for:
• associating a first brand with an item using the hierarchical structure;
• associating a second information with the item using the hierarchical structure;
• identifying duplicate brand entries;
• and
• responsive to identifying duplicate brand entries, generating a corrective action.

One or more computer storage devices having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for brand and license hierarchy management, which, on execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• storing a data model in a computer-readable medium, the data model comprising:
• a hierarchical structure configured for nesting primary and secondary information, including data fields that indicate:
• at least one of brand or license information, and
• whether factory tracking is required;
• and
• executing, by at least one processor, first instructions comprising logic for:
• associating a first brand with an item using the hierarchical structure;
• associating a second information with the item using the hierarchical structure;
• identifying duplicate brand entries;
• and
• responsive to identifying duplicate brand entries, generating a corrective action.
