Replenishment
Variant Weight Curve
Variant Weight Curve is a new functionality in LS Nav Fashion that describes a product's variant distribution behavior. In most of the cases in Fashion line, different sizes of a product are not equally distributed. There is usually less demand for size XXS and XXL than for sizes S, M, and L, and this pattern can be defined using a Variant Weight Curve.
Variant Weight Curves can be created manually or calculated from historical sales data of Items or Item Groups (Division, Item Category and Product Group).
For more information see Variant Weight Curve in the LS Nav Help.
Update Data Profiles with Lifecycle Rule
Lifecycle Rule is a new functionality in LS Nav which extends the Lifecycle Curve by letting users define Replenishment Data Profiles for different periods in a product's lifecycle. A Scheduler Job will switch the Data Profiles for the items based on the lifecycle and the item's Lifecycle Start Date.
For more information see Lifecycle Curve in the LS Nav Help.
