Chapter 47: Entering Variable Set Information (WVST)
Overview: A variable set consists of a list of items that customers can choose from to make up the set they want to purchase. Individual items may also be selected from this screen. Typically, the items available in a variable set all exist on the same page of the catalog.
A variable set item is designated by a V in the Kit type field in the Item file. A variable set, for example a Wardrobe Set, may be a special collection of items such as: "Choose any 2 slacks, 1 jacket, and 1 belt from this page for only $200.00." Variable set groups, in this case, must be defined for slacks, jackets, and belts, providing the customer with several combinations of colors and sizes.
In Order Entry, when the operator enters a variable set item, a pop-up window appears for each "group" of items in the variable set. Each pop-up window contains a list of valid items in the group. The operator must select the desired items from each group. The system will ensure that the customer orders the correct quantity from each variable set group by maintaining a counter of the number of items allowed as compared to the number of items selected. The variable set item does not appear on the order. Instead, the system creates order entry detail lines for each item picked from groups.
Unit Demand (units ordered) is tracked at the component item level only. For example: the variable set is made up of 2 pair of slacks, 1 jacket, and 1 belt. A customer orders the slacks, jacket, and belt as a variable set. Units ordered for the slacks increases by 2, units ordered for the jacket increases by 1, and units ordered for the belt increases by 1. Dollars ordered is tracked at the component item level only.
Note: Variable sets are priced by item components; the price of the complete set is the total price of each of its components. Although you can enter a price for a variable set item at the item offer, the system does not use this price when totaling the price of the order.
