Activities

Before starting the listing operation, you are recommended to specify the relevant distribution chains for which the listing operation is to be carried out. Here, you have the following options:

You start the listing operation by choosing Perform listing.

If you list a structured article after the bill of material has been created, the system always lists the components too. If the component has already been listed, it is given the status in the listing condition that it has been listed as a component and as a single article. It is otherwise given the status that it has been listed as a component only.

If you list generic articles, listing conditions are created only for the generic article and for variants that are not flagged for deletion. If a variant is flagged for deletion, the listing conditions cannot be created on the Listing screen if the variant is maintained directly.

After carrying out the listing operation, you can choose Assortments to display the assortments determined. If an assortment is listed and if it is defined in the article’s source of supply key that the article can be procured via a distribution center, the distribution centers that can supply the assortment user are also listed.

Besides the assortments, the following distribution chains are also determined:

You can display these distribution chains by choosing Distribution chains.
