Excerpt

All the products on your website are integrated from your ERP, but did you know there's a host of product information that can also be maintained via the CMS, completely independent of ERP systems such as PRONTO?


To maintain products online, the 'Product Maintenance' feature must be enabled. If this wasn't done during your site's implementation phase, you can enable the feature. Once enabled, Product Maintenance settings can be configured to suit your website and workflow. The settings determine the options available in the Product Maintenance page (Products & CategoriesProduct Maintenance), where online maintenance of each product's details is done (Step 3 below).

    Warning

    Note - the system flag 'Disable Product Category Integration' must be turned on in order to wholly maintain categories via the CMS. Otherwise, category information in the CMS will be for reference only, as it will be overwritten on every integration.
