Dear Balaji,

Assortment Module for Value Contracts

Use

This function enables you to define a list of materials that can be released from a value contract. Materials can be assigned to more than one assortment module.

An assortment module is an entry tool and can be called up from the value contract. It is valid for a certain time period.

If you delete a material from the assortment module, to which a value contract refers, you will be unable to release that material.

Note:-In the value contract, only materials with the same sales organization and distribution channel as the value contract can be taken from the assortment module. All the other materials in the assortment module are not displayed in the value contract.

Creating Assortment Modules for Value Contracts

To create an assortment module, proceed as follows:

1.From the R/3 initial screen choose Logistics --> Sales and Distribution --> Master data.

2.Choose Products--> Value contract - Assortment module --> Create.

You will then be in the Create assortment module: Initial Screen.

Module type 6 is defined for the value contract.

3.For external number assignment, enter a module number.

You can then use existing modules as a reference by entering the name of the module under reference.

4.Choose Enter.

5.Enter a short description for the module.

6.Enter a validity period for the product proposal.

During a release, the system checks if the release date lies within the validity period.

7.Create the materials that you wish to assign as items to a module.

Note:-You can display a list of materials as a product proposal, which you can then copy into the assortment module. To do this, choose Suggest material, enter the selection criteria in the subsequent screen and copy the selected materials to the items. Use Edit --> Delete item to delete the materials that you do not want to copy to the assortment module.
