Fields at this window

All fields are display-only.

Field	Description
Organization	See organization.
Attribute Code	The Code identifying an attribute you can apply to locations, products, or both. Attribute codes can be 1 to 40 positions in length and must be unique within the organization.
Description	The description of the attribute. Can be up to 100 positions.
Attribute Type	Indicates how you can apply the attribute: Location: The attribute can be applied to locations to filter eligible locations when routing orders. For example, if an order originates in a location associated with a particular brand, the eligible sourcing or pickup locations can be restricted to that brand. Product: The attribute can be applied to products. Not used in routing orders. Location and Product: The attribute can be applied to products and locations to filter eligible locations when routing orders. For example, if a product is oversized, the eligible sourcing or pickup locations can be restricted to those that support oversized products.
Ship For Pickup Matching Type	Indicates whether to filter a location based on its role in fulfilling a ship-for-pickup order: Sourcing: Locations must match the attribute in order to qualify to source the order. For example, if a product requires engraving, the sourcing location must support engraving, based on a matching location attribute with a Location Use of Sourcing. Pickup: Locations must match the attribute in order to qualify as pickup locations for the order. For example, if the order was submitted under a particular brand, the pickup location must support that brand, based on a matching location attribute with a Location Use of Pickup. Both: Both the sourcing and the pickup location for an order must match the attribute. For example, if a product is flagged as oversized, both the sourcing and the pickup location must support oversized products, based on both a matching location attribute with a Location Use of Sourcing and a matching location attribute with a Location Use of Pickup. Note: This setting does not control routing of delivery or pickup orders, and is used only if ship-for-pickup orders are enabled.
Allow Multiple	Set to Yes if multiple values for the attribute can be assigned to the same product or location; otherwise, set to No. Boolean attributes do not support allowing multiples. Also, multiple attribute values cannot be applied to a location when the attribute’s Location Use for the location is set to Originating Location.
Data Type	Indicates the type of data that can be defined through the attribute. Possible data types are: Boolean: Indicates whether a condition is true for the product or location; for example, use a Boolean attribute to identify each location that supports oversized items. List: Used to define a list of valid values that can be assigned to a product or location; for example, this might be a list of brands. Each value can be up to 50 positions. Number: Indicates that the value defined through the attribute must be numeric. Numbers can be up to 25 positions, including commas, decimal points, or minus signs. Text: Indicates that the value defined through the attribute is text. Values can be up to 50 positions.
Values	Displays each value that can be applied for a list attribute. Each value can be up to 50 positions. Not displayed for a text, number, or Boolean attribute.
Last Updated	The most recent date and time when the attribute definition was updated.
