The USE of Pending Merchandise Hierarchy is to change the structure of the merchandise hierarchy itself.

For example:

SUPPOSE you have the following hierarchy:

Dept 1: Class 1001: SUBCLASS 101

Dept 1: Class 1002: Subclass 201

Dept 2: Class 2001: Subclass 211

Now suppose you want to move Class 1002 into Dept 2.

Using Pending Merchandise Hierarchy you can make this move so the structure will look LIKE this:

Dept 1: Class 1001: Subclass 101

Dept 2: Class 1002: Subclass 201

Dept 2: Class 2001: Subclass 211

A item reclassification is different. It could be used to move the items between departments, but it would not affect the structure of the merchandise hierarchy itself.
