Definition

You can use the assignment type to classify assignments between retailers and geographical units. The assignment type can be used, for example, to classify the geographical area to which a retailer is assigned as follows:

  • Wholesale area
  • Nielsen area
  • Sales area for ad inserts (booking unit)
  • Home delivery area
  • Sales area for phase delivery

You can define the possible assignment types in Customizing.

When you assign a retailer to a geographical unit (in the master data on the retailer), you specify the appropriate assignment type.

Example: You define that the geographical unit you assign to the retailer is a booking unit for ad insert sales or a target area for phase delivery. (The phase delivery function allows you to perform staggered shipping to different sales areas so that returns received in one phase can be shipped again in the next.)

In media product sales and distribution, you can use the assignment type as a selection criterion for the following functions:

  • Automatic assignment of ad inserts in Advertising Management to contracts
  • Definition of the phase model for phase delivery and generation of orders for each phase
