Setup: Product status automation

The Product status represents the life stage of the product. Norce has built-in rules and automations for letting the product catalog automatically handle some the the steps in a product life-cycle. You can disable these totally or change some the rules, depending on your requirements.

Required steps

Set up a price list structure
Set up an inventory structure

Preparations

Understand how the clients wants to handle their product catalog. In which systems are products "born"? And where is it decided to end a product's life?

How-to

Your decisions above decide on how you want to set up the integration of your products as a whole. Note that:

You might need to change the Sku status automation settings, see below, if required.
Set activation and deactivation of products, by using StartDate and StopDate on the SKU element in Connect integrations (or manually in admin)
Manually lock specific product's status in the admin UI so that it wont change by automations.

Further configuration

Fiddle with the client settings, specifically

Sku Status automation , which lets you change the default behaviour of the status automation.
