SAP Retail:Merchandise Category assignment to sites

[former_member232581]

Hello

I have a problem while executing requirement to assign Merchandise Category to different stores. Problem is-

--There are multiple new merchandise category every now and then that is added to system. All these MC need to be assigned to all the sites (plant) that are available. There are more than 350 sites available in our system.

-- If we have to assign 100 new MC and assign it to 350 existing store we are using following method.

We go to WB 30, enter MC create assignment and assig it to all the required site. We need to repeat this for all the 100 BMC. So its a kind of repeated manual work we are doing.

-- We tried to create LSMW for this but it was not able to update it as the subsequent WB30screen does not support LSMW.

Can anybody help with this so that manual assignment can be avoided and can be automated somehow.

Hello,

Are you creating the same assortments for these stores? If so you may want to look into creating an assortment using transaction WSOA1 and inserting the Merchandise Categories required and the your group of Stores as users. SAP automatically extends the Merchandise Category to the sites based on the Assortment Users. Once you have done this you can maintain the assortment with just the merchandise categories you've created and they will be assigned to the site after you maintain the assortment.

Thank you,
