Create Products in the Product Console
With EPC, you can create an offering to sell to customers, such as an iPhone 11. Before creating an offering, you must create other entities, such as object types, attributes, and product specifications. You can then create bundled offerings and set pricing.
Before You Begin
- Create a Picklist
- Create Attributes
- Create an Object Type
- Assign Attributes and Fields to an Object Type
- Define Page Layout for an Object TypeDefine the Layout for an Object Type in the Product Console
- Create a Product Specification
- Create a Price Book
Every price list must be associated with a price book in Salesforce. You can associate multiple price lists with the same price book. If you don't have a price book to use, you must create one. - Create New Product Attribute Categories
Attribute categories group attributes. They also appear as headings at run time in Industries Cart’s Filter and Configuration windows. Attribute categories are required to create product attributes. The type of attribute is defined at the Attribute Category level. You must create Attributes Categories before adding new attributes to the category. - Create a Picklist in the Product Console
A picklist is an ordered list of values that customers can choose from when buying a product. If an attribute includes predefined values, a picklist represents all available values for that attribute. You can reuse picklists across attributes assigned at the object type level or the product level. - Create Attributes in the Product Console
A product attribute is a characteristic that defines a particular product and affects a consumer's purchase decision. Attributes can include product characteristics. - Create an Object Type in the Product Console
A base object type that you create serves as a template that stores configuration of attributes, fields, and layouts. When you create object subtypes, they inherit configuration of the base object's layout, fields, and any attributes. - Change the Product Attribute Display Sequence in the Product Console
In the product catalog, you can override or update the display sequence for the attribute and the attribute category in the context of the product. - Define the Layout for an Object Type in the Product Console
An object type is a reusable entity that defines properties, such as fields and attributes, and layouts for all product instances. Objects types are like Salesforce record-types, but with enhanced capabilities. You can use object types to group products with similar characteristics and ensure consistent behavior and application of rules. - Create a Product Specification in the Product Console
You create product specifications from the object types. All fields, attributes, and layouts defined at the object type level are inherited by product specifications. For product specifications, you set values for the attributes and fields defined for the object type.
