Creating an Umbrella Product

Once all individual products for the umbrella product have been created, Personify will need the umbrella product setup and the individual products assigned.

To create an umbrella product, from the main screen of Personify, click on the Add New Product option.

Choose the Umbrella Products button.  The Product Maintenance | General Setup screen will appear.

2.    Update the Product Code & Parent Product Code.

c.    Product Status:  Update the product status from the drop down menu.

d.    Available From and Available Thru Dates:  Update the Available From & Available Thru dates.  If the product is on a campaign, and only available between a set of dates, use the from and thru fields to maintain window when the item is available for backorder sales.

6.    Under the Options sections, multiple checkboxes can be marked.

a.    Master Product – Indicates that the product is the master product.

b.    Available to Order – Indicates that the product can be ordered and that product Available from date is greater than or equal to today.  Some products may only exist as components of another product and cannot be sold individually.

7.    Once all changes are made to the Umbrella Product general setup, click the save button.
