Chapter 55: Copying SKU Offer Information (MCSO)

Purpose: Use Copy SKU Offer Information to copy item/SKUs from one offer to another offer by selecting an offer to copy "from" and the new offer to be created "to."

Copy SKU Offer Information allows you to:

• select which item/SKU information, such as page number and cost, to copy

You can also copy a selected SKU offer record from one offer to another offer using the Copying SKU/Offer Records (CSKO) menu option.

Other ways to update item and SKU prices and offers: See Options for Updating Item or SKU Offer or Price for a listing.

Entering Adjustment Percentages

If you selected A in the Expected return field or the Projected units field at the Copy SKU/Offer Information Screen (Selecting Information to Copy), the system displays one or both of the following windows when you press Enter.

Note: The system uses the information in the SKU/Offer/Page file (INSKOP) to calculate the actual return percentage and the projected units.

Enter Adjustment % Window: Return Percentage

Use this window to specify a percentage to adjust the Actual return percentage for items/SKUs in the “from” offer up or down when creating the Projected returns percentage for items/SKUs in the “to” offer. You advance to this window if you selected A in the Expected return field.

Enter Adjustment %

The actual return percentage for each item/offer

will be calculated. The calculated return % can be

adjusted up or down by the amount specified below.

Adjust by .00 %

Press Enter

Actual return percentage: The system calculates the actual return percentage by dividing the returned quantity by the shipped quantity based on the information in the SKU/Offer/Page file (INSKOP). Unlike on the Inventory Status & Projection Report (ISRP), this calculation does not consider the # of Periods to Offset Returns (C06) system control value; all shipments are included in the shipped quantity, regardless of when they occurred.

Completing this window:

• To adjust the Projected returns percentage for items/SKUs in the "to" offer higher than the Actual return percentage for the "from" offer, enter a positive percentage.

Example: The Actual return percentage for item AB100 in the “from” offer, OFA, was 10.00%; however, you expect the returns for AB100 in the “to” offer, OFB, to be 10.00% higher. Enter 10.00 in this window to set the Projected returns percentage for AB100 in OFB to 11.00% (10 + 10%).

• To adjust the Projected returns percentage for items/SKUs in the "to" offer lower than the Actual return percentage for the "from" offer, enter a negative percentage.

Example: The Actual return percentage for item AB100 in the “from” offer, OFA, was 10.00%; however, you expect the returns for AB100 in the “to” offer, OFB, to be 10.00% lower. Enter -10.00 in this window to set the Projected returns percentage for AB100 in OFB to 9.00% (10 - 10%).

Note: You cannot enter an adjustment percentage that is less than -100.00

• To have the Projected returns percentage for the items/SKUs in the "to" offer the same as the Actual return percentage for the "from" offer, leave the percentage set at .00 (the default).

Enter Adjustment % Window: Projected Units

Use this window to specify a percentage to adjust the Actual units ordered for items/SKUs in the “from” offer up or down when creating the Projected units for the items/SKUs in the “to” offer. You advance to this window if you selected A in the Projected units field.

Enter Adjustment %

The proj units will be calculated using actual

units ordered in the 'From' offer. The calc proj

units can be adjusted up or down by amount below.

Adjust by .00 %

Press Enter

Actual units: The system bases the actual units ordered on the information in the SKU/Offer/Page file (INSKOP). This total increases whenever a customer orders an item/SKU from the offer and decreases when the item/SKU is canceled with a cancel reason whose Reduce? (Reduce demand?) flag is set to Y. However, the quantity is not reduced by additions or exchanges in order maintenance if the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is set to N.

Completing this window:

• To adjust the Projected units for the items/SKUs in the "to" offer higher than the Actual units ordered for the items/SKUs in the "from" offer, enter a positive percentage.

Example: The Actual units ordered for item AB100 in the “from” offer, OFA, was 100; however, you expect the units ordered for AB100 in the “to” offer, OFB, to be 10.00% higher. Enter 10.00 in this window to set the Projected units for AB100 in OFB to 110 (100 + 10%).

• To adjust the Projected units for the item/SKU in the "to" offer lower than the Actual units ordered for the item/SKU in the "from" offer, enter a negative percentage.

Example: The Actual units ordered for AB100 in the “from” offer, OFA, was 100; however, you expect the units ordered for AB100 in the “to” offer, OFB, to be 10.00% lower. Enter -10.00 in this window to set the Projected units for AB100 in OFB to 90 (100 - 10%).

Note: You cannot enter an adjustment percentage that is less than -100.00

• To have the Projected units ordered for the item/SKU in the "to" offer the same as the Actual units ordered for the item/SKU in the "from" offer, leave the percentage set at .00 (the default).
