Use this page to add or maintain general information about a SKU.
- Code
- Type the SKU code, which uniquely identifies the SKU within the WebSphere Commerce system. This SKU code is based upon the parent product code (before attributes). For example, if the product code for a "Ladies' cable-knit sweater" is SKU-12345, then the individual SKU for each attribute would be SKU-12345-1 (Ladies' cable-knit sweater, small, red), SKU-12345-2 (Ladies' cable-knit sweater, medium, red), SKU-12345-3 (Ladies' cable-knit sweater, large, red), and so on.
- Name
- Type the name of the SKU, such as "Ladies' blue pullover, medium". The SKU name is language specific; that is, if the SKU is offered at a French store and a Japanese store, and you want to change its name for both stores, you must type the new name in this field for each store. To work in another language, click the Select
icon, found in the upper left corner. Note that you can switch to a different language only if you are authorized to work with more than one of the WebSphere Commerce supported languages and if the language is available.
- Announcement Date
- Add the year, month, and day that the SKU becomes available to customers. This field is for your information only.
- Withdrawal Date
- Add the year, month, and day that the SKU is removed from the catalog and is unavailable for customers to purchase. This field is for your information only.
- Last updated
- The date and time the SKU was last updated. This field is read-only, and is only available in the Change SKU notebook. The date and time are based on the current system time for the machine where WebSphere Commerce Server is installed.
- Display to customers
- Select this check box to indicate that customers can view this SKU. Note that this check box is only applicable to SKUs that do not have attributes, such as a CD. The SKU's display status is language specific; that is, if the SKU is offered at a French store and a Japanese store, and you want to display it at both stores, you must select this check box for each store. To work in another language, click the Select
icon, found in the upper left corner. Note that you can switch to a different language only if you are authorized to work with more than one of the WebSphere Commerce supported languages and if the language is available.
