Assortment Hierarchy File

The assortment hierarchy represents the grouping of assortments for a time period. It can be a group of weeks, months, or quarters for which an assortment is planned. This hierarchy is DPM enabled, so users can create new assortments as needed in the Assortment Maintenance workbook and assign the product/calendar association for that assortment period in that workbook.

This hierarchy is intended to be customized for the individual retailer's needs.
