Assign Variation Attributes

Assign attributes to B2C Commerce base product, groups, or products.

Here's how to create two base products that share variation values and one with unique variation values:

  1. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Administration | Site Development | System Objects Types | Product, make sure that there’s a color attribute definition for the product system object and create it if necessary.
  2. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | site | Products and Catalogs | Variation Attributes | Catalog, create a variation attribute that uses the color attribute definition and at lease one color value.
  3. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | site | Products and Catalogs | Products, select a Base Product. Select the Variations tab and click Lock.
  4. In the Variation Attributes section, click the ellipsis (...). Select the shared attribute you created and click Apply.
  5. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | site | Products and Catalogs | Products select a Base Product. Select the Variations tab. The product must be a different variation product from the one you previously edited.
  6. In the Variation Attributes section, click the ellipsis (...). Select the shared attribute you created and click Apply.
  7. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | site | Products and Catalogs | Products, select a Base Product. Select the Variations tab and click Lock. The product must be a different variation product from the one you previously edited.
  8. Click New.
  9. On the New Local Variation Attribute page, add a local variation attribute and click Apply.

The first two base products you edited now have the same color variations, and the last base product has different color variations.
