Usage of Assortments (Transaction code - WSO1)

What is the usage of assortments (transaction code  ( WSO1 ) ) in our business?

Assortment modules for value contracts are maintained in the master data for products. You can define a validity period for each material in the assortment module. When you create a release order, the system checks the respective entry date against the validity period.

If you have not made any entries in the document, all the materials defined in sales can be released unless there are any other restrictions in copying control at item level

Assortment modules support the assortment strategy you have planned. 

Each module contains an assortment which applies to all stores and which only becomes store-specific after a suitable assignment has been made. 

Special form of the traditional module types is the value contract module. 

The value contract module is generally only used to group together materials for value contracts, but it can be used exactly like a standard module in assortment functions. 

The Procedure:

Enter a module type. Promotion modules cannot be created in this transaction; they can only be created from within the promotion itself.

Profile modules are created directly during integrated material maintenance and can only be edited here to a limited extent. If you wish to maintain a local module for a single plant, enter the plant number in the 'local assortment' field. 

An assortment module is a grouping of materials, which make up its items. It is assigned to assortments. It is valid for a certain period of time and has a maximum assortment priority. Assortment modules belong to different module types. 

The value contract module is a special form; it can be used not only in assortment functions but also to group materials into value contracts.
