Assortment Module Assignment Maintenance

Purpose

This business process allows you to assign assortment modules to specific assortments so that the articles in these assortment modules can be listed in the assortments.

The process of assigning assortment modules to assortments results in the articles in the module being listed in that assortment. If the assortment is also assigned to an assortment user (store / distribution center / customer), this defines:

The distribution centers via which the articles in the assortment are to be distributed.
The stores in which the articles in the assortment are to be sold (point of sale).
The customers (in the wholesale sector) who can buy the articles in the assortment.

At the end of this process, an assortment module has been assigned to one or more assortments and the validity period of this assignment has been maintained.

Process Flow

You define the assortments of the assortment users (stores / distribution centers / customers) in which the articles in the assortment module(s) are to be listed, using the assortment strategy of your company as a basis. You specify a listing procedure, which contains rules against which the system can check the listing.

You assign the required assortments to the assortment module. You can do this individually or using a worklist.

You specify the validity period for the assignment of the assortment module to the assortments. You decide whether to set the flag for listing individual articles.

If errors occur during the assignment process, you have to decide whether you want to assign the module completely (with all the articles). You cannot decide whether to assign individual articles.

Notes and Remarks

You must create assortments first before attempting to assign them to a module. You can create customer assortments manually; store or distribution center assortments are created in Site Maintenance.

Only active assortment modules can be assigned.

For information on listing procedures and the assignment of assortment modules to assortments, please see the assortments information in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
