Edit Products (POS) Fundamental

Note: Before a product can be Edited in the following way, it must first be added by using the Laravo module to set up an API Connection that will use Laravo to connect to POS as a source.

This section of the guide will walk you through the process of Editing Products (POS). Any time a Product has POS as its Data Source, to Edit that Product, the following user manual information can be applied.

Any time Product data is sourced from POS, your ability to Edit that Product is limited. This is because POS integration implements an automated data feed that is updated regularly (when POS changes are made), and further editing this data manually will interfere with the update process.

Here is an example of a finished product page that can be edited using Edit Products (POS):

Now that you have learned the fundamental idea and seen an example of the end result, this guide will continue to walk you through Edit Products (POS).

To Begin Edit Products (POS)

• ● 2 Actions [Edit]. In this column, the green button allows you to Edit this Product.  

After you have clicked on Edit, a new screen will appear.

• ● 3. Product Details

• ● 4. Minimum Required Specifications

For example, an item may be sourced from both POS and POS, resulting in two different Stock Numbers. In this case, a Common ID can be assigned to the product to indicate that these two items are in fact the same (despite having different Stock Numbers).

• ● 7 Product Status [On | Off]. This setting controls whether the Product Status is set to On or Off. If set to Off, then the product listing will be removed from the website altogether.

• ● 8 Orderable [Yes | No]. This setting controls whether or not the product can be added to the shopping cart and ordered.  [front end example]
