Retail Store Group Assignments for store group membership
Key Takeaway
Use Retail Store Group Assignments to put a retail store in one or more retail store groups. The store inherits KPIs from all of its groups, and the priority order on each assignment determines which group's KPIs apply to that store.
A retail store group is a cluster of retail stores that share something in common. You can manage the stores in a group together and track performance at the group level. You link stores to groups with Retail Store Group Assignments. A store's group memberships decide which key performance indicators (KPIs) it inherits.
What a retail store group is
You group stores by traits that drive business decisions. Examples include:
- The type and range of products sold
- The promotions targeted at the stores
- Similar store layouts
- Similar business agreements
Grouping lets you define and track performance metrics at the store group level, so you manage data for many stores at once.
You can create as many retail store groups as you want. However, the Retail Store Group object can't have a hierarchy, so one group can't sit inside another. Unlike the Retail Store Group object, the Account object captures the account hierarchy for stores.
The Retail Store Group object has two names. In the data model, its name is Retail Location Group. In the Retail Execution app, its name is Retail Store Group.
