| assortment |
A subdivision of the entire offering of a retail company, aimed at a specific target group for a specified period of time. The contents of an assortment are defined by assigning assortment modules to it.
An assortment defines which materials a store, a distribution center or a customer can be supplied with at any given time and can therefore be used to check purchase orders and sales orders.
Every retail site is assigned one (and only one) assortment. This assortment is created when the retail site is created, but is not assigned materials until the listing stage, where materials are assigned to assortments using the assortment modules to which these materials belong.
A customer can be assigned more than one assortment per sales area. These assortments are maintained and assigned manually.
