Purpose
Older releases of R/3 Enterprise restricted you to a 1:1 assignment of assortments to sites. That is, each store could have exactly one assortment, and each assortment could be assigned to exactly one store. In the current release you can choose between the old 1:1 assignment and the new n:m assignment. This less restrictive assignment enables you to copy the assortment of an existing reference site to other stores (useful, for example, for new store openings), and allows you to fine-tune a store’s offering by adding one or more general assortments to it.
Upgrading from single assignments (1:1) to multiple assignments (n:m) should be undertaken only after careful consideration and with the involvement of an experienced consultant. This is because changing the assignment method impacts all aspects of the listing process.
Process Flow
Once you set this flag in the productive system, you can no longer switch back to the old 1:1 assignment restriction.
This report checks each site to see whether any article has been listed both in the site’s local assortment and any general assortments assigned to it. All such duplicate or overlapping assignments are shown in the report. You can then choose to delete those listing conditions in the local assortment.
This report checks each site to see whether its local assortment or any of its general assortments are assigned to the same assortment module. If so, the assignments are redundant in the local assortment, and you can delete them.
