Sell-in distribution

Written By Admin FAQ (Super Administrator)

Updated at December 1st, 2025

Sell-in distribution allows sell-in data entered at the parent brand to be automatically distributed to the subsidiary brands.
The functionality is automatic and valid for data integrated via the Import menu or automatic file integration (DDE).

In the Brands menu, select a parent brand. Then in theSell-in Allocation tab , you can specify allocation keys by category/sub-brands.

When sell-in data is integrated via an automatic interface or via the import menu of eCOS ® Assort, it is recorded for the parent brand as well as the daughter brands via the distribution keys.


Example

If you integrate the following file (knowing that product 1234567890123 is linked to category C):

Product EAN Taught Volume Value
1234567890123 Mother sign 10,000 55,000

With the following sell-in breakdown:

Mother sign
Girl sign 1 Girl sign 2 Girl sign 3 Girl sign 4
Category A 20 10 30 40
Category B 10 0 20 70
Category C 25 15 25 35

The following data will be integrated into eCOS Assort:

Product EAN Taught Volume Value
1234567890123 Mother sign 10,000 55,000
1234567890123 Girl sign 1 2500 (10,000 x 25%) 13,750 (55,000 x 25%)
