The assignment of the individual articles to assortments is recorded in what are called listing conditions. These listing conditions contain the following:

• The periods of time for which an article is to be assigned to an assortment

• Inclusive or exclusive assignment (that is, whether an article is to be listed or excluded from listing)

• The number of the module which caused the listing conditions to be generated

• Whether the listing is for a promotion listing

• Whether the module is assigned to a rack jobber

• Whether an article is listed as a component of a structured article

In the case of manual listing using manually created assortment modules, the system creates listing conditions based on the assignment of the assortment module to an assortment.

In the case of automatic listing, the system uses listing rules to create listing conditions.
