Create an item variable assignment that enables the catalog admin set up a default
value mechanism in the order guide context so that the user can focus only on required
values.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

For example, you can set the default storage of an iPhone to 64 GB for Sales, and to
16 kB for Development. This setting is configured in the new hire order guide by
using mutually exclusive rules and setting the storage variable accordingly for
Sales and Development.  
The value for an item variable is determined in the following order:

1. Item variable assignment
2. Cascading value (if no item variable assignment exists)
3. Default value defined in the variable definition (if no cascading value or item variable assignment exists)
