Prepack vs Display in SAP retail

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I am still struggling to understand the difference between prepack and Display in SAP retail.

Anyone has a good understanding of that?

Cheers

Hi

A dispay is a number of single articles or variants of one or more generic articles that are sold as individual items to consumers. A display has an own article number, purchasing price and purchasing price conditions. Displays are made up by the manufacturer or vendor.

A prepack is a number of variants of one or more generic articles that are sold as individual item. A prepack has an own article number, purchase price and purchase price conditions. Unlike displays the componenets in prepacks must belong to the same merchandise category as tthe prepack itself.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi

Prepack:

Variant from different generic articles belongs to same merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 11.

Prepacks are used in Fashion retail where merchant wants to order specific variants (color and size) rather than ordering all the variants from generic articles.

Vendor ship prepack articles and received in DC as prepack articles whereas it will be sold at component level in Store.

Display

Variant from different generic articles belongs to different merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 12.

Vendor ship as display articles, stocks are maintained at DC as display articles but sold in store at component level.

Display articles are used in FMCG sectors mostly and to some extend it is used in Fashion as well. These articles generally kept at billing counters and customer will pick the components as they like it.

Best Regards
