You can divide the goods using their classification, which is understood as dividing a given number of goods according to individual characteristics into specific categories using the selected method and observing the necessary rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Divide all available goods into separate groups, depending on their general data and differences. At the same time, distribute the goods according to certain steps or criteria from the highest to the lowest.
Step 2
Determine the number of the resulting stages of classification, which should depend on its goals, complexity and the given number of all classified objects.
Step 3
Use one of two methods to separate an item: hierarchical or faceted. In turn, with a hierarchical classification structure, divide the goods into subordinate subgroups that make up a single scheme with interrelated subcategories (group, subgroup or type, subspecies) of objects that are similar in certain characteristics. For example, goods can be: natural, synthetic, animal, mineral, vegetable. In this case, natural goods can be produced from the corresponding natural elements (stone, sand).
With the faceted structure of the division of goods, the division into separate and independent of each other specific groups (facets) is envisaged. This happens on the basis of some feature inherent in each of these groups. Such a division of goods is characterized by the greatest flexibility, and also allows, in any particular case, to restrict the classification of a set of goods to only a few groups that are of interest in each separate system. In this case, the goods can be divided by purpose as follows: elements for wood, for leather, universal, stationery, and others.
Step 4
You can use a combination of the above two methods at once to separate items. In trade processes, it is necessary to use a trade classification for dividing goods, according to which goods are divided into two main groups: food, non-food. At the same time, non-food products are subdivided into other commodity groups: from plastics, household chemical, metal, silicate, electrical, construction, household textile, sewing, knitted goods, fur and fur, haberdashery, perfumery and cosmetic, jewelry. A special group of goods includes prints and books.
Step 5
Assign each product a specific SKU, which represents the required designation. It is assigned to a product to reflect its features and differences from other similar products in terms of insignificant characteristics.
