Configurable products

A configurable product seems to be a single product with lists of options for each variation. However, each option represents a separate, simple product with a distinct SKU.

Notice: If you have not already done so, please activate the SAWS Datamodel for Complex Articles

Since cs16 supports multiclassing, now products can be assigned to multiple classes.
For configurable/variant products please assign the SC_MAGENTOCLASS_VARIANT to the variant product:

The SC_MAGENTOCLASS_VARIANT class is created automatically by activating the “Complex Articles Datamodel” see above.

You can find the attribute for Magento variant products in the CS Setting:

 

Navigate in the PIM Studio and open a configurable product in the edit mode.
Set the Magento product type to “Configurable product”:

Now you can configure the variant items:

Notice: Here you will find the instructions how to fill the table for complex articles automatically.

Go to the tab “Data” and add a new variant.

 


Add the variant product and save your settings
