• Key Concepts: 
  Manual Clustering is a feature of SAP Assortment Planning that allows users to manually group items into clusters. This feature is useful for creating clusters of items that have similar characteristics, such as price, size, or color. The clusters can then be used to create assortment plans that are tailored to the needs of the business. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Manual Clustering, users must first select the items they want to group together. This can be done by selecting individual items or by using filters to select a group of items. Once the items have been selected, users can then assign them to a cluster. The clusters can be named and customized according to the user’s preferences. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating clusters, it is important to consider the characteristics of the items being grouped together. For example, if grouping items by price, make sure that all items in the cluster have similar prices. This will ensure that the assortment plans created from the clusters are accurate and effective.
