Chapter 52: Working with Deferred SKU Offer Changes (WDSO)

Chapter 52: Working with Deferred SKU Offer Changes (WDSO)

Purpose: Use the Deferred SKU Offer Changes function to make global changes to SKU information in an offer, and to work with or review all pending deferred changes. You can apply your changes later through Submitting Deferred SKU Offer Updates (MDSS).

Important: The deferred SKU Offer update process updates individual SKU Offers only, not updates to Item Offers. Although the system does not prevent you from creating SKU Offer Change records for a non-SKU’d item or the base of a SKU’d item, it does not actually process these update when you submit them, and does not automatically process updates against all SKU Offers for a specified Item and Offer.

Note: You can also use the Deferred SKU Offer Update (MDSU) menu option to create SKU Offer Change records.

Other ways to update item and SKU prices and offers: See Options for Updating Item or SKU Offer or Price for a listing.
