Attribute Mapping for Template Item Import

Form ID: (BC203000)

Note: This form is available only if the Retail Commerce feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

On this form, you define the rules for mapping MYOB Acumatica attributes and their values to product variants and their values from an external e-commerce system. These mappings are used while creating template items during product import from the external system.

The system adds rows to the table on the form after product import is prepared from the external e-commerce system on the Prepare Data (BC501000) form if the products to be imported have variants in the external system. The system deletes rows from the table on the form when the corresponding mappings are successfully used to create the template and matrix items.
