Adding and Editing Assortments
The number and type of products carried by retailers for purchase by consumers is defined as an Assortment of products. In sales promotions, assortment is a collection of different items collectively sold out in a Promotional Offer.
Assortment can be created by collating specific items on the basis of their barcode numbers or on the basis of certain criteria which is reusable.
Although product assortments can be used for various purposes, the concept finds clearer application in sales promotions. Promotions are generally not run on single items. So, to provide any promotional benefit on any item, the intended promotional item needs to be part of an assortment which will be tagged to the promotion definition.
Important
Note: An item (barcode) may be part of more than one assortment. In that case, it will work according to the priority of the promotion and its allocation.
Types of Assortments
Assortments can be assigned four distinct types with different functionalities for Promotion-
Buy - This is the assortment from which the customer must make a purchase for the promotion to be applicable. For example when the customer purchases 2 T-shirts from a particular assortment, he may get a 50% discount on a pair of jeans from another assortment. Then the Assortment of T-shirts becomes a Buy assortment.
Get - This is the assortment from which the customer will get the benefit when the promotion is applicable. For example when the customer purchases a bed sheet worth INR 500 or above from a particular assortment, he may get a set of pillow covers free from another assortment. Then the Assortment of pillow covers becomes a Get assortment.
Both - This assortment can be considered for both buy and get functions. For example when the customer buys 2 T-shirts from assortment (A1), he may get a 50% discount on a pair of jeans which is part of another assortment (A2). Again when he buys 2 pairs of the jeans from the same assortment (A2) he may get a third pair of jeans at a 20% discount. So the assortment A2 is considered as a get assortment in the first promotion and buy in the second promotion. Hence it can be considered as Both assortment.
Benefit Value- This is the assortment from which the customer will get the benefit when the memo level promotion is applicable, for example when the customer makes total purchases worth ₹500 to ₹ 799, he may get either a crystal mug or a decorative item or a door-mat free. But if he buys ₹800 to ₹ 1199; then he gets a set of crystal bowls or a diffuser or an exclusive flower-vase and artificial foliage free. Hence, it is defined slab wise and is available with the assortment include tab. Then the Assortment of predefined set of items becomes a Benefit Value assortment.
Important
- Creation of ‘Benefit Value’ type assortment would only happen through scan mode. All other assortment definition criteria would be disabled.
- A new column “Benefit Value” would be available where barcode wise item benefit values have to be specified. This allows users to define a single benefit value assortment with items having multiple benefit values to cater to slab based promotions. Eg. Users can define a benefit value assortment of 10 items (BVA 1), in which 3 items are having benefit value of 100, 3 items having benefit value 300 and rest 4 having benefit value 500. When this assortment BVA 1 is tagged to a slab based promotion (SBP1), the various benefit values can be offered against various promotional slabs.
For buying Rs. 1000-1999 - Benefit value of 100 can be offered,
For buying Rs. 2000-2999 - Benefit value of 300 can be offered and
For buying Rs. 3000 onwards - Benefit value of 500 can be offered.
