Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Items

It is very important to show the right products in your webshop when it comes to the catalog. As Sana is the ERP integrated e-commerce solution, all items and item information, like title, pricing and stock is stored in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and is simply used by Sana.

To create a catalog of products to be shown in the webshop, Sana Commerce uses the items functionality in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. 

To manage items in Microsoft Dynamics NAV click: Sales & Marketing > Inventory & Pricing > Items. 

Only those items which are set as visible in webshop in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are indexed by Sana and shown in the Sana webshop. Use the Visible in Webshop checkbox on the item card to show or hide an item in the webshop.

Use the Item Category Code field to assign an item to the appropriate item category.

Item categories are used to group items that share certain characteristics, for example electronics or women's clothing. For more information, see 'Item Categories'.

You can show and hide items in the webshop or restrict the usability of the item by blocking it. If the item is blocked, it is still shown in the Sana webshop, but a customer cannot purchase it. Instead of the Add to cart button a customer will see a message that an item is not available.

You can add the name of an item in any language using Translations. If your webshop is multi-lingual, customers will see item names in the selected language.
 

If you use Microsoft Dynamics NAV with the Pebblestone Fashion add-on, you should open the Fashion FastTab and set the item status in the Item Status field in order to change the item availability in the webshop.
