Introduction

For a product to be visible in webshop, three conditions must be met:

• The product must be approved
• Validity date of the product must be correct
• Your assigned authorisation objects match those of the product. AO are an expression for your area of responsibility.

This article will explain how to approve or to assign AO to products. Access the catalogue list as described in Catalogues.

Assign for the first time

Open the requested catalogue and select the products for which you want to define the business scope (assignment), click on assign objects and select which object to assign (e.g. MG or SBU), then their value(s) In case you have many elements in your page, use the search to reduce the number of displayed elements. The selections which you make between your searches are kept and will be applied when you finish your assignment action.

Changing existing assignments

If you select multiple product and some of them have already an assignment, all checkboxes will appear not checked and the existing assignments will be replaced with the new assignments you now make. If you select a single product and it has already elements assigned, the checkboxes will appear checked.

You can make the assignment for 1 product, multiple products across different paginations, all products of 1 pagination and all products of the catalogue. Then repeat the same for activation. Select, approve and click the Activate action icon. If you have already product activated, you can deactivate them by clicking the corresponding icon. As a result, the product will be / will not be anymore visible in the web shop.
