429 == „Cannibal“ group items ==
430
431 "Cannibals" are the items that "eat" sales of each other during the promotion. The "Cannibals" items are managed in the same way as other items in StockM. They have their own buffer in a specific warehouse/store/branch. However, in order to manage such items during a promotion automatically, you must combine them into a group:
432
433 create item group: StockM -> Other -> SKU group -> New
434
435 [[image:creat.PNG]]
436
437
438 • Specify the name of the group;
439
440 • Place a check mark to make the group active;
441
442 • Enter the "eaten sales" coefficient (<1). The coefficient shows how much the quantity ordered will decrease for an item that is not participating in the promotion:
443
444 ○ 0 – indicates that there is no „cannibalism“;
445
446 ○ 1 – cannibalism 100 %, that means if there are 2 products in a group and there is a promotion organized for one item, it takes away („eat“) all sales of the other product;
447
448 ○ For example 0,5. If sales increase by 10 units, entering a coefficient of 0,5 means that sales of the item not participating in the promotion decreases by 5 units (50 %).
449
450 • Specify group type „Cannibal“
451
452 [[image:group.PNG]]
453
454 • Assign a SKU group to the items that "eat" sales of each other (enter items into a group).
455
456 Press [[image:image-20200324165637-1.png]], in order you could specify groups for the items;
457
458 [[image:skugroup.PNG]]
459
460 In the SKU Group window, you'll see how many items are combined into a group.
461
462 [[image:sku in group.PNG]]
463
464 • When the group is described and is active, the actions will take place automatically during the promotion. The promotion quantity (PQ) is managed in the promotions. All actions will begin when the promotion is activated:
465
466 ○ If at least one item enters in the promotion, orders will be reduced for the other items in that group;
467
468 ○ During order formation PQ is calculated for the promotional item and for the items dot not participating in the promotion according to the indicated coefficient (negative PQ is calculated for non-promotional items);
469
470 Negative PQ is calculated daily during data exchange for all non-promotional items belonging to those groups which have active promotional items. If the group no longer contains promotional items, the PQ value becomes zero automatically.
471
472 ○ At the end of the promotion orders will recover, that means orders will be formed as it was before the promotion, according to the indicated buffer.
