2. Product Information

When the xTupleCommerce software is installed, a number of special features are added to the Item master in the ERP. These added Item master features are examples of static product information. You will notice that the following three tabs have been added to the Item screen:

Suggested Items tab

Items you identify as related or similar to the specified item.

Attributes tab

The physical properties and other attributes of online items are defined on this tab.

Marketing tab

Expanded marketing information, including SEO (search engine optimization) keywords, are maintained on this tab.

The portal also uses the following two pieces of information from the very top of the Item master:

Item Number

This is the SKU for the product.

Description field (two lines)

The first Description line is typically used for entering the name used to describe the item. The second line provides additional product information. To learn how you can override these two Description fields with more marketing-oriented language, see Section 2.2, “Marketing”.
