Required access roles: Author, Leader

Note: This procedure is specific to the management of the product representations for multiple parts.

  1. Create a product.

    See Create a product.

  2. Create a representation for each product part.

    See Create a representation.

  3. For the main product part:
    1. Specify 1 as the Consumer Units value.
    2. Specify any identifier for the Package Identifier value that you want to appear in the merchandising guides, for example, 1/3, B, or trash can).
  4. For other product parts:
    1. Specify 0 as the Consumer Units value.
    2. Specify any identifier for the Package Identifier value, for example, 2/3, B, or cover.

For example, for a product in three parts, specify the following values.

RepresentationConsumer UnitPackage Identifier
main part11/3
complementary part02/3
complementary part03/3

You can place these three representations on a gondola. Ensure that you place the same quantity for all three parts.

  • The product quantity displayed in the merchandising guides is computed from the main part quantity in the gondola.
  • The complementary parts quantities are ignored during the computation of product quantities.
