Tips and best practices

• Only products that meet all the following similarities can be added in one technical file:
  • Same supplier/ factory
  • Same manufacturing process
  • Same material
  • Same product category (list of requirements is the same)
  • Same market release date
• Give products descriptive names that clearly reflect the product variants.
• You can also manage product articles in batch via Excel import.

Troubleshooting

• Need to ungroup product articles? 

Delete the product article(s) and create separate technical files. Or clone the technical file and remove the remaining product article(s).
