Working with Long SKU Classes (WLSC)

Purpose: Long SKU classes represent class codes for a SKU. For example, you may want to assign a long SKU class code to items that differ from the mail order class codes for the same group of items. These codes are typically used in a retail environment; however, they can be used for other classifications.

Long SKU Class codes are used in conjunction with Long SKU Department codes for reporting purposes. A long SKU class is assigned to an item in the L/S class (Long SKU class) field of the Item file; the system will validate your entry to this field against the Long SKU Class file.

Retail integration (external system to CWDirect): If you are using Retail Integration (external system to CWDirect) by setting the Use Retail Integration (H26) system control value to Y, a long SKU class is defined within a long SKU department for an item. For example, Class 10 may be Ties within Department 20 (Men’s Apparel), but within Department 30 (Women’s Apparel) Class 10 may be Slacks. Therefore when using Retail Integration (external system to CWDirect), the system validates long SKU classes against the Retail Class file and denies access to the WLSC fast path and the Work with Long SKU Class menu option. An error message indicates Work with Long SKU Class Not Allowed with SCV H26.

Pick slip generation selection criteria: Long SKU class can be used as a selection criterion for pick slip generation if you have set the Order Combination Pick Selection Type (G47) system control value to L/S CLASS. This criterion will generate pick slips for orders which include items from a single long SKU class or for orders whose items belong to multiple long SKU classes. You may assign long SKU classes which parallel other item values such as zone reservation codes. See Fulfillment Shipping Zone Reservation Overview for information on zone reservation coded (weather-sensitive) inventory.

Require long SKU class: If the Require L/S Class (I93) system control value is set to Y, the system requires you to enter a long SKU class when you create or maintain an item.

BOGO promotions: You can use an item’s long SKU class as a qualifier for a BOGO (buy-one-get-one) promotion. See Working with Promotion Values (WPRO) for more information.

Long SKU elements: The entire Long SKU consists of the following elements:

• L/S Style

• L/S Vendor

• L/S Department

• L/S Class

• L/S Color

• L/S Size

• L/S Width

If the Use Retail Integration (H26) system control value is set to Y, the system requires you to enter a L/S style, L/S vendor, L/S department, and L/S class when you create or maintain an item.
