PI Edit Product Update Entry - Full Product overview

Product Import > Entry > Edit Product Update

Specify an active Import Type and Update Number. Then, use this page to create or edit product records.

In PI Edit Product Update Entry, the Full Product window shows additional detail information about a selected line item. This includes all price and cost information, what product records are updated or created. It includes vendor, line, category, and price type data. You can also access to additional fields for updating that are not available on the Line Item.

Much of the information displayed on the Full Product window is loaded from the Product Setup, Product Warehouse Product Setup, or Product Catalog Setup records. Information is loaded in this sequence:

  • If a warehouse is defined for the line item [on the PI Price Cost Multiplier Setup record], it uses information first from the Product Warehouse Product Setup record.
  • If there is no warehouse, information is loaded-from the Product Catalog Setup record.
  • If no current catalog record exists for the item, it uses information from the Product Setup record.
  • If no Product entity record exists with the same product name, it is considered a new product. New records are created for this item depending on the defaults set up in PI New Product Default Setup.

If a supersede has been mapped and imported, the operator is notified. If the field, Change Product Name in PI Import Definition Setup is manual, a message is displayed: Warning: This Product Must Be Manually Changed Using ICACP to: XXXXX - Since PISI Setup Does Not Allow Supersedes [where XXXXX represents the name of the supersede].

If the PI Import Definition Setup supersede flag is supersede, the warning reads: This Product Will Be Superseded by: XXXXX.

If a product is active in Product Setup and the product is scheduled in the update file for inactivation, a message is displayed: This Product Will Be Inactivated During Product Import Update.

If an imported product's ARP Vendor does not match the Product Warehouse Product Setup record, the record does not update and this message is displayed: Warning: The ICSW ARP Vendor is Different; No Updating of ICSW Will Occur (8062).

Notes associated with Product Import records can be received and viewed from Distribution SX.e. If a standard note exists for a Product entity, such as Product Setup, a notes indicator is displayed in the entity field. You can then view the note from the Notes context application. Select Product from the drop-down list [listed only if a Product note exists]; then, any available notes are displayed. The note also shows in the Details window under the Product tab.
