Working with Depiction (WDEP)

Purpose: Use the Depiction file to establish a link between a featured item and each optional item in a depiction.

Depictions are layouts (photograph or illustration) in an offer containing several different items. One item is the focus of the depiction; however, several other items are available in the depiction for sale. The focal item in the depiction is designated as the feature item (and is labeled as such in the Item/Offer file). Every other item advertised in the depiction is labeled as an option in the Item/Offer file.

Offer

The offer in which this depiction is presented.

An offer is a code for the catalog, space, or television advertisement from which you accept orders. See Marketing Working with Offers (WOFR).

Alphanumeric, 3 positions.

Master item

The primary item featured in the depiction.

Example: If the depiction is of a dining room, the dining room set may be the master item.

In the Item/Offer record, you may identify an item as a feature (by entering an F in the Feature/option field). This indicates that the item is the most important item in a depiction.

Several different subordinate items may point to a single master item in a depiction.

Alphanumeric, 12 positions.

Subordinate item

An item included in the depiction, but not the focus of the depiction.

Example: Continuing the example from above, if the depiction is of a dining room, the place settings, crystal, and centerpiece items may be subordinate items to the master item (dining room set).

In the Item/Offer record, you may identify an item as an option (by entering an O in the Feature/option field). This indicates that the item is a secondary item in the depiction.

The subordinate item must point to a master item; several different subordinate items may point to the same master item in a depiction.

Alphanumeric, 12 positions.
