What is prepack in SAP IS-R - SAP for Retail?

SAP Term: prepack

• Component: IS-R

• Component Name: SAP for Retail

• Description: Retail Group of variants of one or more generic materials that is purchased as a separate material and as such has a material number, a purchase price, and purchase price conditions. Unlike a display, the components must belong to the same material group as the prepack itself. They can be grouped together by the retailer as well as by the manufacturer or vendor, and are common in the textile sector for example, sorted tennis socks. In the wholesale trade, prepacks are purchased and sold, whereas in the retail trade, only the components are sold. For this reason, stock is managed at prepack level at the distribution center, and at component level at the store.

Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Prepack is a feature in the IS-R SAP for Retail system that allows retailers to create and manage pre-packaged items. Prepack allows retailers to create bundles of items that can be sold as a single unit, such as a gift basket or a set of items. This feature helps retailers save time and money by reducing the need to manually package items. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Prepack feature, retailers must first create a Prepack item in the system. This can be done by selecting the “Create Prepack” option from the main menu. Once the item is created, retailers can add items to the Prepack by selecting them from the item list. The system will then calculate the total cost of the Prepack and generate a barcode for it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Prepack, it is important to consider how many items should be included in it. Too few items may not be attractive to customers, while too many items may make the Prepack too expensive. It is also important to consider how much each item should cost in order to make the Prepack attractive to customers.
