Version 2.13 of CyberStore offers several enhancements within the Console to the management of Items and Item Types.

Updates to Item Edit Pop-up to Identify and Properly Edit Item Type (#7608)

Within Item Maintenance, you can select or change an Item's type using the "Item Type" list box under the General tab of the pop-up. You can designate the Item as either a Stock Code, Model, or SKU. By default, all Items are initially added as Stock Codes.

 

 

If you designate the Item as a different type than you have previously, you will be asked to either confirm the change or enter additional information about it. All changes to an Item's type take place only after you have saved your "Item Maintenance" screen. 

For complete details on how to choose Item Type in the Management Console, see the General tab section in the Item Maintenance topic in the User's Guide.

Console Edit Screen for Model and SKU Maintenance (Under Related Items) (#7607)

To maintain information about a Model, use the SKUs tab. You can find this under the "Related Items Maintenance" window accessible via the Item Maintenance grid. Use this tab to add, remove, or sort the SKUs associated with that Model.

 

For complete information on how to work with related SKUs, see the SKUs tab section under the Related Item and Accessory Maintenance topic in the User's Guide.

Default SKU Selection Fields per Site (#7640)

Within Site Manager, you can set default SKU Selection Field values by Site.

When you navigate to Catalog Configuration > Item Defaults, you will notice a new button, the Edit Default SKU Selection Fields button. 

 

 

When you click this, a pop-up appears that allows you to adjust the SKU Selection Fields grid.

 

For complete information on how to set SKU Selection Field defaults for your Site, see the Item Defaults tab in the Catalog Configuration topic of the User's Guide. 

Front-End Control Updates to Site and Item settings for "SKU Selection Fields" Properties (#7609)

The front-end CyberStore controls that use the SKUSelectionFields property, namely the CatalogPricingControl and the CatalogItemSelectionControl, now populate their values automatically unless otherwise specified in SitePages.config or a registered control.

Order of processing is as follows:

1. Check for default Site SKU Selection Fields. You can manage this setting in the Console in the Catalog Configuration tab by navigating to Site Manager > Catalog Configuration > Item Defaults. If this setting exists, use its value, provided it has not been overridden by any of the following processes.
2. Check for an Item value for SKU Selection Fields of the Model in context. You can manage this setting in the Console by opening the Related and Accessory Items window via the "Item Maintenance" grid. If this setting exists, use its value, provided it has not been overridden by any of the following processes.
3. Check if the property SKUSelectionFields is set in the property collection for the control, as within SitePages.config. If this property is set, use its value, provided it has not been overridden.
4. Check if the property SKUSelectionFields is set within another control, such as one that is part of a theme. If so, use its value, provided it has not been overridden.

If there is a value missing from the process above, no SKU selection is possible.
