Bulk SKU Assignments

Summary

This page is to be used to assign products to sites.

Channel assignments must be made against simple and child products. Assignments have no effect on parent products and therefore should not be made against them.

Please speak with your account manager to discuss enabling this module for your organisation.

Site Assignment Statuses

Show When Available

This is the main assignment status used on our sites.

The product is shown (discoverable by search and in product lists) if it is available to be bought (has stock, isn’t restricted etc.).

Should the product not be available, then it is removed from search and lists, but its product page is still available (either directly via the URL if you have it, or from a customer’s previous order via their account page), and the product page will report the product as Out Of Stock.

Hidden

This is a way of explicitly setting a product to be in the same state as Show When Available when the product is not available.

The product will have a product page, while not appearing in search and lists. If you visit the product page directly, it will be shown as Out Of Stock.

Sold Out

A product set as Sold Out will appear on site (will be in search and lists) but will report as Out Of Stock.

This is used for products which we expect to come back in stock. For example, if we want customers to be able to see them to place pre-orders.

Always Show

These products are always present on site (in search and lists), and will be Buyable or Out Of Stock depending upon their availability.

Hidden Sellable When Available

This status is used for products that are given away via special offers/promotions, mostly as free gifts.

They won’t be searchable or appear in lists, but if available will be buyable (meaning they will appear in basket as free gifts).

They will not appear in the basket if they become unavailable.

Hidden Always Sellable

This status is used for products that are given away via special offers/promotions, mostly as free gifts.

They won’t be searchable or appear in lists, but will always be buyable (meaning they will appear in basket as free gifts). This status is used for free gifts that we have an unlimited supply of.

How to Change Product Assignment Statuses

Select within the I would like to section either

• Set the SKU's status (meaning add a relationship between a SKU and a site)

• Un-assign the SKU's status (meaning remove a relationship between a SKU and a site)

In the To dropdown, select the site assignment status you require.

Select Continue once ready.

On the next page select the Add products button to include the products you’d like to make a change to.

Paste your products as indicated, then click Add. (This won’t make any changes yet to site yet).

You can review your changes here. If you no longer wish to add an assignment for a product, select it then click Remove. Cancel will just unselect the selected product(s).

Once ready, click Continue.

Finally review your changes. You can select Edit if you need to make further changes. Once happy, click Submit in order for your changes to be committed.
