Identify configurable products in the product catalog

It is important to understand which products are configurable in the product catalog to use this integration..

Before a Commerce self-service user can use the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote Configurator to configure complex products for purchase in Commerce, you must identify the products as configurable in the product catalog.

Before doing so, it is important to have a synchronized product catalog to ensure that products in the Commerce catalog map to corresponding items in the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote catalog.

To identify a product as configurable:

  1. Log in to Commerce.
  2. Click on the Menu icon.
  3. Select the product you wish to identify as configurable from the Catalog Settings icon in the sidebar menu.
  4. Click on the SKUs tab of the product detail pop-up frame.
  5. Click on the SKU link of the product you wish to identify as configurable. You need to do this in order to select the SKU and see the SKU details.
  6. Check the Externally Configurable SKU checkbox. This displays three further fields you must complete.
  7. Enter the Model variable name. This should match the Model variable name of a configurable product in the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote catalog.
  8. Enter the Product Line variable name. This should match the Product Line variable name of a configurable product in the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote catalog.
  9. Enter the Product Family variable name. This should match the Product Family variable name of a configurable product in the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote catalog.
  10. Click Save. This returns you to the SKU frame where the SKU you updated should be marked with an asterisk to identify it as a configurable SKU.

Note: Administrators can also perform the above setup steps in bulk by using the SKU import program. From the Catalog tab in Commerce, click Manage Catalog and select Import. In the Import dialog, click Browse and locate the CSV file to import. Click Upload File, click Validate, and then click Import.
