Top n Product Lists 
A top n product list is a combination of business partners and products that is valid for a specific period of time in a pre-defined scenario (for example, Telesales, CRM Web Channel) and with which products in these areas are offered for purchase or sale.
A top n list consists of information that can be entered on two different levels: The header, which mainly contains administrative information (description, status), and one or more top n items, which contain the combination of business partner, product, and validity period.
Note
The term “top n product list” comprises both the top n header and the related top n items. However, the list of products itself is entered at item level. Each top n header can therefore contain a number of different top n items (that is, product lists).
CRM Web Channel
Top n product lists are used in CRM Web Channel to produce online product proposals for business partners visiting a Web shop. Depending on the marketing profile to which the business partner belongs and the corresponding target group, the system can display product proposals tailored to the business partner's marketing profile. The products themselves can be entered manually or determined from SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) on the basis of the sales figures for a given target group. For more information on product proposals, see Usage of Target Groups.
SAP Telesales
Product proposals in the Interaction Center can be derived from top n lists. When a customer is identified in the Interaction Center (IC), all the products currently valid for that customer are displayed as proposals in the locator. The products can then be selected and copied into sales items.
Structure
Each top n list consists of one or more top n items to which you can assign the following:
One or more marketing segments
One or more products
A Web shop
One or more validity periods
This information is used to control which product proposals are displayed for which business partners in which scenario (CRM Web Channel or Telesales, for example).
The following figure shows an example of how a top n product list can be structured.
