Note that you must create attributes and attribute values before you can generate SKUs. If your product does not contain defining attributes, then you only need to create a single SKU.
To generate SKUs for a product:
- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
From the Merchandise menu, click Find Catalog Entries.
From the Products menu, click Find Catalog Entries.
The Catalog Entry Search page displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.- Find the product that will contain the generated SKUs.
- Select a field in the product row. The background for the selected field is highlighted.
- If you have not already done so, create the defining attribute values. Return to the main product view.
- Again, select a field in the product row, and under the Actions menu, click Generate SKUs.
- Once the process is complete, you will receive a successful generation message.
Important:
- You must first create attributes and attribute values in the store's default language, followed by any supported languages. If there are no defining attributes for the product, the SKU generation will create a single SKU by copying information from that product.
- You can only generate SKUs if there are no SKUs associated with the product.
- If the changes to the catalog data do not display, the Site Administrator may need to remove the currently cached JSP pages.
