Analytical Reports for Assortments

The Assortment Planning function provides a series of reports. Here are some examples:

Article listings

Displays all listing conditions for the articles selected.

Articles in assortment module

Displays all articles contained in a specific assortment module, along with the listing window (validity dates).

Articles in site

Displays all listing conditions for each combination of article and site.

Assortment modules within assortment

Displays all the assortment modules for a given assortment, any promotions planned for the modules, and (optionally) all the individual articles within the assortment.

Assortment structure within assortment

Shows all the merchandise categories for a given assortment. Optionally, you can also display the hierarchical structure graphically (for example, clothing ® women’s clothing ® women’s sportswear). From here you can drill down into a specific merchandise category and display all the articles assigned to it.

Listing check/article listed

Allows you to check whether a given article is listed for a given assortment. If it is, the report will display the different assortment modules to which it is assigned, along with the listing window and any promotions planned for it.

Listing analysis

Shows not only whether an article is listed for a given assortment, but for articles which were not successfully listed, it also shows the various errors which prevented the listing. So if, for example, you attempt to order an article for a the user of a particular assortment (for example, a store) but the system rejects the order, you can run this report to see the reasons why.

Listings due to expire

Allows you to search, by assortment, for all articles whose listings are due to expire within a timeframe you specify. For example, you could search for all articles which are to expire within the coming month, in all sites (e.g., stores) assigned to the assortment.

Consistency check for reference articles

Allows you to proof the consistency of reference articles for merchandise categories. This report is used primarily during implementation and whenever changes to the merchandise category structure have been made. The report indicates whether there is any missing data that needs to be maintained for the reference article.

Article list of a vendor for assortments

Displays all articles listed in the assortment of a particular vendor within the specified time frame.

Assignment information

Consists of several reports showing specific assignment information:

Assortment users assigned to an assortment

Assortments assigned to an assortment user

Duplicate listings for articles in a site

Displays cases where more than one listing condition exists for a given combination of article and site (for example, where an article is included in both the site's local assortment and one or more general assortments that may be assigned to it). You can delete duplicate listing conditions for the site's local assortment within the report. (This report is relevant only if the flag for multiple assignments of assortments to sites is active.)

Duplicate assignments of assortment modules in a site

Displays cases where a given assortment module is assigned more than once to a site. You can delete duplicate assignments for the site's local assortment within the report. (This report is relevant only if the flag for multiple assignments of assortments to sites is active.)
