Merchandising Styles
Shelf Logic Enterprise Edition supports up to 5 concurrent merchandising styles: units, tray,
case, display and alternate. These are the names we’ve given to them, you can use these for
other merchandising styles of your own. For each merchandising style, there is a separate cost
and selling price, separate width, height and depth measurements and number of units in the
style. And each merchandising style can have its own photo images (for front, side and top).
There are several places in the program where you can define which merchandising style to use.
The first place is in the Product Information window. In the Dimensions tab, there’s a place for
the default merchandising style for this product. When this product is placed on the plan, this
merchandising style will be used.
After a product is on the plan, its merchandising style can be changed. Just select one or more
faces and from the Face menu, select “Change Merch Style”. You can then enter a different
merchandising style for the selected products.
Another way to change the merchandising style of products already on the plan is through the
Location window. When Location Grouping is turned on and you double-click on a location, you
can then change the merchandising style of all products in the location group.
Changing the Default Merchandising Style for a Plan
When a plan is first created, you can specify an over ride merchandising style for the plan. So
regardless of the products merchandising style, the over riding style will be used. You can still
change the merchandising style of the product after it’s placed on the plan.
For example, product “ABC” is normally displayed in units. Normally, when added to a plan, a
unit is added. But for this particular plan, we specify tray for the over ride merchandising style.
So when product “ABC” is added to the plan, it’s added as a tray style.
