Product record and attributes: the product's identity

Audio narration · listen first

In PIM, everything starts with a product record. Attributes such as season, brand, theme, product group and style define the product; filters, search and sales reports in the channel are fed by these fields.

In this part

  • You understand that the product record is the identity card on the sales side.
  • You learn what an attribute is and why it is picked from a list instead of typed as free text.
  • You see how entering the same product group as "Jacket" in one place and "Blazer" in another breaks reports and filters.
  • You tell the difference between a required field and an optional field.

On the e-commerce tab of the product card, the ERP stock code, product tax group, Turkish and English style description, style, season, brand, product theme, main product group, product group, product type code and e-commerce tags sit side by side. Most values are picked from a drop-down list.
