Manage the product assortment
What is the purpose of the product assortment?
The product assortment is optional.
It allows you to define an ordered list of products that you consider must be distributed in all shops.
When a new shop is declared by one of your area managers, a set of dispensers will be pre-generated, pre-filled with the products in the assortment, in the order in which you have arranged them.
For example, if you define an assortment containing:
- whole almonds
- sports mix
- salted roasted cashew nuts
- currants
when a new shop is declared, 4 dispensers will be automatically added, pre-filled with the corresponding products:
- Dispenser 00001, whole almonds
- Dispenser 00002, sports mix
- Dispenser 00003, salted roasted cashew nuts
- Dispenser 00004, currants
