Bulk Update for Product Offering

You can now perform bulk actions on offerings starting with mass update on the first class properties of Product Offers such as description, effective start date, effective end date, track as asset, search tags, override and other similar flags, categories, product line, terms etc. In addition, you can perform bulk actions on Product offering associations such as adding or removing a Product Line or Category.

There are two flavors of performing bulk update action on product offerings based on their lifecycle status:

• Bulk update product offerings - Update offerings that are part of the same initiative and are in design status.
• Bulk revise product offerings - Update product offerings that are in the Launched status by revising the offerings
