Create Products Manually in the UI

When you create a product manually in the Sales Products UI, you enter product basic information and save the product for the first time.

Keep in mind that:

  • After you create a product using the sales Products UI, you can't delete it. But you can hide it in the UI by deselecting the Eligible to Sell option in the product details screen.
  • The fields in the sales products UI don't map name-for-name to the SCM application; see the table in this topic for more details.

Here's how to create a new sales product:

  1. Navigate to Sales > Products.
  2. In the Products overview page click Create Product.
  3. In the Create Product page, fill out the fields.

    This table shows the fields, their descriptions, and the table columns in SCM products that they map to:

    Note: To speed up product creation, import your products and product groups. See the Download the Product Import Files topic for more information.
