Product Catalog Modules Optional, la carte pricing

• Product Categories

  Enables products to be organized through a multi-level category hierarchy. The category hierarchy and the assignment of products to categories are handled in the website control panel. Categories can have multiple products, and products can be in multiple categories.

• Advanced Features

  This is a bundle of advanced product catalog features. It includes the ability to hide pricing and/or the add to cart button for anonymous users; email-a-friend; additional product images; and a document download link (can be used for sales flyer, MSDS sheets, specs, etc). The options are purchased as a bundle, but can be turned on independently.

• Suggested/Related Products

  This is used for cross-marketing of related products, suggested products, accessories, etc. The related products are administered in the website control panel, and are displayed on the product detail page in the website.

• Parent-Child Products

  Parent products allow inventory items in Sage Accpac ERP to be grouped on the website. This makes it easier for the customer to find and purchase the items. This is typically used for apparel styles (where the items in Accpac represent each size-color) and products that have multiple options (where each option is an item in Accpac). Parent products are administered in the website control panel. The child products are administered in Accpac.

• Sales Pricing

  This provides pricing support in the website for sales prices administered in Sage Accpac ERP.

• Inventory Levels

  This pushes inventory levels from Sage Accpac ERP to the website. This allows the website to show the inventory status ("in stock" or "out of stock”) on each product and can optionally show the qty available. It can also be configured to prevent ordering if the item is out of stock. This uses the sums of one or more warehouses to determine the stock status and qty.

• Unit of Measure

  This is needed if the standard UOM and sales UOM on products are different in Accpac ERP. It allows the customer to choose the UOM and qty when they add products to the shopping cart (they can choose between the standard UOM and sales UOM). It automatically calculates pricing based on the sales UOM conversion, and it passes the UOM and pricing into Accpac ERP when the sales order is imported.
