Selections can be used by both buyers and suppliers in BOP.
The purpose of the selection is to create an excerpt of product from one or many publications, narrowing master data down to a relevant choice of products for the user.
Selections can be downloaded or exported in BOP via a standard PRICAT integration or be sent as a publication from a supplier to a buyer.
Suppliers tend to use Selections as a way of highlighting products within their master data to buyers, could be a new running segment or all gloves within a winter collection etc.
Buyers tend to use selections as a filter, letting them only export products relevant to them to their ERP, could be all product from a supplier and season that the buyer intends to order etc.
NOTE: Products in a selection will be subject to updates just as products in a publication, meaning that product properties and/or dimensions can be added or changed via new master data uploads from the supplier.
