Weight products

A product sold by weight requires a different approach to layout and stock control. The "Weighting" type allows you to correctly place such products on a planogram, control the quantity, and configure packing in kilograms. This is especially relevant for vegetables and fruit, sweets, grains, nuts, and other weight products.

In this article, we will review how to change the product type to weighted, create packing for it, and place it on a planogram.

How to change the product type to weighting 

Two types are available for all products: 

• Packaged — the product has set height, width, and depth and can be laid out on all types of equipment.
• Weighting — the product can only be placed in boxes; when laid out, it automatically fills the entire space, so only one weight product can be placed in one box.

To change the product type to "Weighting", open the "Product information" tab. This can be done in two ways: 

1. In the "Products" block: 

• Thumbnail mode — hover over the product card and click "Edit";
• Table mode — at the end of the row, click "More actions" → "Edit".

2. In planogram editing mode: 

• Click the product on the planogram or in the product list;
• In the panel with brief product information, click "Setup product" in the upper-right corner.

In the "General information" block, select the "Weighting" product type.

To save the changes, click "Apply".

How to add packing 

If a weight product is sold in different packaging variants, add packing for it — this will allow placing it on different equipment elements. For example, you can create packing of 0.5 kg, 1 kg, or 2 kg depending on the product's packaging variants. 

To create packing: 

1. Open the "Product information" tab; 
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "+Add packing";
3. Specify:

• Packing name and package weight (in kilograms) — these fields are required;  
• Height, width, and depth of the package; 
• Packing image — read more about uploading images in the article. 

4. Click "Apply" to save the packing. 

An unlimited number of packings can be created for one product. To determine which packing will be used automatically when laying out on a planogram, drag it to the first position in the list.

How to lay out a weight product on a planogram 

A weight product without packing can only be placed in a box. To do this, open the shelf in the top view and drag the product into the required box. 

To specify the product stock in the box, select it on the planogram and click "Set up", then in the "General settings" block specify the weight in kilograms. The system will automatically calculate the product stock in the box in days using the formula: Product stock in box, kg / Average daily sales qty of the product. 

If packing has been added for a weight product, it can be laid out on any equipment element — a shelf, hook, etc. When laid out, the product is automatically placed in the form of the packing with the first priority. 

To set or change the packing type: 

1. Select the weight product on the planogram and click "Set up";
2. In the "General settings" block, open the "Packing type" list and select the required packing.

• Number of rows (layout depth in box);
• Facings qty;
• Layout height;
• Layout depth;
• "Place to full depth" / "Place to full height" toggle (inactive in "Lay out Arbitrarily" mode);
• Compression settings.

Weight product analytics

Analytics for weight products is available in the planogram viewing mode and in the plan editing mode in the "Analysis of laid out products" report. When using the complectation, you can view "Product stock, pcs/kg" both in pieces and in kilograms.
