Deleting a Variation Option in NetSuite Connector
In this context, variation option means the way in which children SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) vary from each other. These are the options you pick from a list on the product page in your storefront. FFor example, if the children differ by color, then "color" is your variation option, and you pick the color when buying the item in the storefront. Similarly, if the children differ by color and size, your variation options are color and size.
You can remove or update the variation options in the following ways:
-
Manually remove or update the variation options in both NetSuite and storefront directly.
-
Delete the item listings in your storefront and NetSuite Connector, then update the variation options in NetSuite on your family. Then let NetSuite Connector sync the updated family back to the storefront as a new family.
If you delete a variation from NetSuite but not from the storefront, you'll get an error when posting those products. That's because the storefront expects the original variations, but NetSuite is sending something different.
For example, if your child SKUs vary by color and size, and you remove the size option from the family in NetSuite but not in the storefront, you'll get an error when syncing. That's because the storefront still expects a size value for all children.
