How to: Set Up Store Capacity

Store Capacity is used to maintain maximum item quantity (or space consumption) in stores, grouped by item categories or product groups as well as for a specific season. The fundamental setups of Store Capacity include the Item Capacity Value on the Retail Item Card and the Goal on the Store Capacity page.

To set up the Item Capacity Value

  1. Navigate to LS Retail – BackOffice - Product Design - Retail Items.
  2. Select an item in the list, and click Edit.
  3. Fill in the Item Capacity Value field on the Merchandising FastTab. This value indicates the space consumption per item (Base Unit of Measure) for any store.

Note: If the Store Capacity is only set up for a specific season, you must ensure that the Season Code field on the Retail Item Card, (Merchandising FastTab) is filled for all affected seasonal items.
