Definition

An assortment is a SAP Retail object to which materials are assigned (a process known as "listing").
An assortment can be assigned assortment users (retail plants or customers). All the materials that are assigned to an assortment are therefore automatically listed in the assortment users assigned to that assortment.

Every retail plant is assigned one assortment.
A local assortment is only valid for one retail plant.
Every customer can be assigned one or more assortments per distribution chain. Each of these assignments can be flagged with a particular priority, which can be used as additional information for analyses in order processing or assortment list generation. There can only be one main/default assortment, however; this is used to determine a price list if price lists are required and there is no price list defined at customer level yet.

Checks defined for the listing procedure that is being used determine whether or not a material is listed in an assortment.
