Select Variable Set Items

Purpose: Use the Select Variable Set Items page to select the items from a variable set to add to an order. Variable sets consist of several component items that the customer can select to make up the desired set. A variable set, for example, may be a special promotion such as, “...Choose any 2 slacks, 1 jacket, and 1 belt from this page.”

About variable sets: A variable set item enables the customer to select a set number of components from one or more groups. For example, a variable set may include a group for slacks, another for jackets, and a third for belts.

The customer must select the specific item(s) desired from each group at the Select Variable Set Items page to satisfy the requirements of the variable set (such as, 2 slacks, 1 jacket, and 1 belt). The system ensures 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 ordered.

When you complete the Select Variable Set Items page by selecting the correct number of component items for each group, the system adds the lines to the order for each component item selected. The variable set item itself is not retained on the order.

The system assigns the next available line number to the item you are adding to the order. The system performs the same item updates and validations as in order entry, such as:

         Reserving the item (if using immediate reservation).

         Updating order totals.

         Performing credit checking to ensure the order has valid customer and payment information.

How to display: Complete the Add Order Line page for a variable set item.

In order to add a variable set and its components:

         The order cannot be currently locked by another user, the system, or another session.

         The order cannot be a store pickup order, based on the Broker Delivery Type.

         The order cannot be from Order Broker (delivery, retail pickup, or pickup), based on the Broker Delivery Type.

         The variable set item must be configured with its component items.
