Purpose: Use this screen to determine whether you want CWSerenade to change certain table structures to support integrating merchandise information from an external system into CWSerenade.
Yes/No field: If you select this field, you indicate that you want to integrate and maintain merchandise information from an external system into CWSerenade through an item upload or through creating and adding retail information within CWSerenade, using the long SKU values listed below. When you use this integration, you can upload item information interactively or in a batch to create, change or delete specific item/SKU information.
Long SKU Values: When this system control value is selected, the following long SKU values for a base item are required:
• L/S department (if you wish to require long SKU department only, select the Require L/S Department (I92) system control value)
• L/S class (if you wish to require long SKU class only, select the Require L/S Class (I93) system control value)
• L/S style (if you wish to require long SKU style at the SKU level only, select the Require L/S Style (I94) system control value)
• L/S vendor
Retail classes: Retail classes are long SKU classes that are linked to a long SKU department. When this system control value is selected, the system:
• defines long SKU classes (retail classes) in the Retail Class table instead of the Long SKU Class table. See the Work with Retail Class Screen.
• does not allow you to enter the Working with Long SKU Classes (WLSC) menu option since the system reads the Retail Class table instead of the Long SKU Class table.
• requires a value in the L/S Class field (retail class) that is linked to the department in the L/S Dept field when you create or maintain items in Work with Items/SKUs (MITM). When you prompt (click on the arrow) in the L/S Class field, only retail classes display for the long SKU department specified.
• a SKU’s long SKU class (retail class) is linked to the base item’s long SKU department; therefore, when you create SKUs in the SKU Generator (ESKG) and you want to override the base item’s retail class, you must enter a retail class (L/S Class field) that corresponds to the base item’s long SKU department. See the Work with SKU Generator Screen.
Leave this field unselected if you do not use Retail Integration (external system to CWSerenade), or if you wish to use Retail Integration without requiring long SKU values for a base item or linking a long SKU class (retail class) to a long SKU department.
