Associating Account Products with Merchandising Locations (End User)

By associating an account's authorized product with merchandising locations, you can assign a specific physical location for that product, such as one or more display locations in a retail outlet or in a warehouse bin. A product can have multiple merchandising locations. If you delete a product record, its associated merchandising location records are also deleted. Deleting a merchandising location record does not delete associated store condition records. For more information about merchandising locations, see Adding Merchandising Locations to Accounts (End User) and Performing Merchandising Audits.
