Assortment

There are 2 types of assortments

local assortment - every site is created as a assortment and when the article is extended using the
the site the listing is automated.

General assortment - grouping of sites and creating a assortment and to the assortment the
articles/merchandise categories are assigned, which is listing.

In system it will create entry in for the tables WLK1, MARC and MVKE.

Normally in R/3 system we will extend the materials to the site, but in Retail we have many
stores and articles. So listing is the procedure to solve this problem.

A. Prerequisites SAP standard VS SAP IS Retail

1. In SAP standard, you need plant view definition to process PO or movement of the article on
the plant (like good receipt, good issue). Plant data on the article master data need to be
maintained.

Technical point of view:

MARC Article / Plant

MARD Article / Plant / Storage location

2. In SAP Retail, plant view is not sufficient. Article listing is needed.

Listing is the operation that links the article to the assortment.

What is an Assortment?

SAP definition: An assortment is a SAP Retail object to which materials are assigned (a process
known as listing).

Actually, an Assortment is a group of articles assigned to a group of sites. But it is not necessary
true.

Why not true? Because, each plant have his own assortment also.

The real assortment definition depends on the client organization. It can be a group of articles
like PASTRY ARTICLE or a group of sites like LUXURIOUS SITE. So we need to
come back to the SAP definition: An assortment is a SAP Retail object to which materials are
assigned (a process known as listing). the true SAP definition, assortment is just an
object to link different other objects.

B. Listing

The listing operation is the creation of a link between an article and an assortment (creation of
WLK1 line).

To create an assortment, use the transaction WSOA1. Trough the transaction you can assign a
site to the assortment. WSOA2 to add a site to the assortment.

To list an article, use the transaction MM42 / Listing view. For mass listing use WSM3.

Assortment as Site group:

Case 1:

Let assume the Retail Company have two kinds of distribution site, small site and big
site.
Let assume there are articles sold only in a big site and that all articles sold in a small site
are available in a big site too.

You need to create two assortments, ALL_SITE and BIG_SITE via the transaction WSOA1.
Next step is to assign all sites to the assortment ALL_SITE via WSOA1 or WSOA2 and to
assign big sites to the assortment BIG_SITE.

To assign an article to all the sites, go on MM42 (listing view) or on WSM3 and choose the
assortment ALL_SITE.

To assign an article only to the big sites, go on MM42 (listing view) or on WSM3 and choose the
assortment BIG_SITE.
Case 2:

Let assume the Retail Company have two distribution brands, Catering brand (XCatering)
and Retail Food brand (XFood).
Let assume there are articles sold only in XCatering sites, articles sold only in XFood
sites and articles sold in both.

You need to create two assortments, CATERING and FOOD via the transaction WSOA1. Next
step is to assign all XCATERING sites to the assortment CATERING via WSOA1 or WSOA2
and to assign XFOOD sites to the assortment FOOD.

To assign an article sold only in a XCatering site (like Sandwich), go on MM42 (listing view) or
on WSM3 and choose the assortment CATERING.

To assign an article sold only in a XFood site (like chips), go on MM42 (listing view) or on
WSM3 and choose the assortment FOOD.

some sites sell pastry articles, some site sell wine articles.
You need to create three assortments, CORE, PASTRY and WINE via the transaction WSOA1.

To assign all sites to the assortment CORE via WSOA1 or WSOA2 (as we define, all sites sold
article from the core assortment)

To assign sites with Pastry department to the assortment PASTRY.
