Product Attribute Configuration
As in RTP|ONE, every size and color combination for apparel which have sizes and colors requires an individual SKU (RTP|ONE product header code) to be entered on the attribute combination for each product.
If a shirt has 3 sizes and 3 colors, the admin needs to have 9 SKUs (one for each size/color combo, just like in RTP|ONE retail inventory).
Colors of the retail product are supported at the attribute value level (not at the attribute combination level). For example, if you wish to have your black shirt show as the guest selects the color black, you will be able to do so by adding the picture at the attribute value level on the color attribute (described below).
*Note - Add ons are not supported with retail.
- Go to the Product attributes section
- To add a new attribute (e.g. Size), click Add a new attribute and select the attribute from the drop down.
- Examples of attributes:
- Size
- Color
- If you do not have these as options in the drop down, you will need to add them in Catalog>attributes>product attributes
- Examples of attributes:
- In order to have a product change the picture to match the color attribute selected, you will need to have both size and color attributes on the product.
- On the color attribute>values of the attribute> you will assign the image with the appropriate color attribute you would like it to display.
- Remember to save
- Within the attribute combination table, attribute combinations are mapped to SKUs (RTP|ONE product header codes) and prices.
- To generate the attribute combinations, go to the Attribute combinations tab under the Product attribute section.
- Click Generate all possible combinations.
- If PHC (SKUS) and/or prices are defined at the attribute combination level, there should now be a combination for every PHC (SKU).
- Click Edit next to each attribute combination.
- You may enter stock quantity if you wish, to test out of stock messaging, but remember that the stock quantity for each SKU will be updated daily from the retail inventory sync schedule task, so any values you enter manually will be overwritten by the sync, if the sync is setup for your store
- If you select 'Allow out of stock' this will allow your product to oversell beyond the on-hand inventory. If selected, your fulfillment personnel will need to handle the operational matters related to back orders in order to fulfill those retail orders.
- Enter the correct PHC in the SKU column.
- If the product is priced at the attribute combination level, update the Overridden price field.
