Article Selection 

Use

You can use this function to select distribution chain articles to which you want to assign defined markdown profiles, or for which you want to change or display existing markdown profile assignments.

Prerequisites

All the articles that you want to select for markdown profile assignments must belong to one distribution chain.

Features

·        You can select the following article categories:

¡        Single articles

¡        Generic articles

¡        Variants of generic articles

To explicitly select a variant of a generic article, you enter the article number of the variant.

·        To select articles, you can enter criteria for the following areas:

¡        Organizational level

¡        Article hierarchy and merchandise category

¡        Article master record

¡        Existing profile assignment

¡        Vendor

You must enter at least an article number, merchandise category or article hierarchy level - you cannot select articles by simply entering attributes such as size or color.

·        The system takes all the specified criteria into account during article selection.

·        The system does not perform a consistency check when you enter selection criteria

When you enter article numbers and a vendor as selection criteria, the system does not check whether the vendor can deliver at least one of the specified articles.

The system only checks this when it is creating the worklist.

·        You can use fast maintenance to go straight to markdown profile assignment without displaying the articles in the worklist.
