Create Item Attribute Groups and Attributes

Create item attribute groups and attributes using the Manage Item Attribute Groups and Attributes task from the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Follow these steps to create item attribute groups:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Item Attribute Groups and Attributes task:

   • Offering: Product Management

   • Functional Area: Items

   • Task: Manage Item Attribute Groups and Attributes

2. On the Manage Attribute Groups page, create an attribute group and specify its context usage as Item.

You can provide the attribute group with view or edit privileges, or both. For each user-defined attribute, you can optionally define validation rules to be applied when the user enters any data.

Note: When creating or editing attribute groups, or when creating new item classes associated with attribute groups, you must redeploy the extensible flexfield.

Redeploy Extensible Flexfield

Redeploy the extensible flexfield so that the attribute group is available in the application.

1. Search for the flexfield code named EGO_ITEM_EFF in the Manage Attribute Groups page.

2. In the search results, select the row that contains the flexfield code EGO_ITEM_EFF and click Deploy Flexfield.

3. After the deployment is complete, check the Deployment Status and Deployment Date columns to verify that the extensible flexfield deployed successfully on the current date.
