Sales Channel Inheritance Active Job

This Active Job streamlines the management of sales channels for products identified through Contentserv Bookmarks. It leverages the template sales channels of parent elements, inheriting them down to the relevant products. This significantly reduces the manual effort required for sales channel maintenance.

Key Features:

• Automatic Inheritance: Template sales channels from parent elements are automatically inherited by the relevant products.
• Reduced Manual Effort: Minimizes the need for manual updates, making sales channel maintenance more efficient.
• Flexible Configuration: Allows customization of how sales channels are handled, including those that are no longer found.

How It Works:

1. Product Identification: The job identifies products within the product tree using Contentserv Bookmarks.
2. Parent Check: It checks the parent element for existing template sales channels.
3. Inheritance Process: If no template sales channels are found, it checks the grandparent, and so on, until template sales channels are located.
4. Channel Assignment: The identified template sales channels are then copied as real sales channels to the product, updating any existing ones.

Example:

A product is identified in the product tree via a Contentserv Bookmark. The job checks the parent for template sales channels. If none are found, it checks the grandparent, continuing up the hierarchy until template sales channels are discovered. These channels are then applied to the product.

Notes:

• Sales Channel Differentiation: The sales channel name is used to differentiate between channels.
• Template Criteria: Only sales channels with Is Template set to Yes will be inherited.
• Data Inheritance: Inherited sales channels will include all data from their templates, such as validity settings and linked Contentserv Channels.
• Configuration Options: You can configure how the job handles sales channels that are no longer found.

Alternative Automation:

If you prefer to automate sales channel population without maintaining template sales channels, consider using the Mapping Sales Channels via the Ursula AI Active Job.
