Sections and Shelves

To have access to sales information for sections and shelves, you need to assign sections and shelves to retail items or Product Groups. You can assign as many sections and shelves to an item or Product Group as you want. However, you can only get sales information for one section and shelf per item, unless you have a way of knowing at the POS terminals from which section and shelf the item was taken. If this is the case, you need to adapt this method to the LS Retail system.

To assign Sections and Shelves to Product Groups

  1. Click LS Retail – Back Office, Setup, Item, Groups, Product Groups.
  2. Click Product Groups, Card.
  3. Browse to the relevant Product Group and click Prod. Group, Section Location. The Product Group Section Locations window appears.
  4. Fill in the Store No., Section Code and Shelf Code fields.
  5. For one, and only one of the section locations, select the Shows Statistics check box. The program will keep information of sales for the relevant Product Group for this section and shelf assignment only.

Repeat step 4 for each section and shelf you want to assign to the Product Group.

Note: When you assign a Product Group to a Retail Item, the item will automatically have the same section and shelf location as the Product Group. You can adapt this assignment for each item.

 

To assign sections and shelves to Items

  1. Click LS Retail – Back Office, Retail Item Card. The Retail Item Card window appears.
  2. Click Item, Store Information, Section Locations. The Item Section Locations window appears.
  3. If the Product Group the selected item belongs to has been assigned section locations the program has already copied the section location of the Product Group to the item. In that case, you can change the Section Code and Shelf Code fields as needed.
  4. If the Product Group has not assigned section location, fill in the Section Code and Shelf Code fields.
  5. For one, and only one of the section locations, select the Shows Statistics check box. The program will keep information of sales for the relevant item for this section and shelf assignment only.

Repeat step 4 and 5 for each section and shelf you want to assign to the Product Group.
