Phased publication

Recipients require basic product data to create items in their internal systems. To effectively manage and publish product information, the complete requirement set is organized into sections such as Core Information, Digital Assets, Marketing Information and more.

When phased publication is enabled, validate and publish the core attributes first (initial publication). Once the Core Information is successfully published, proceed to publish the remaining sections.

Phase 1: Initial publication

Step 1: Ensure the following sections and their associated steps are completed before initial publishing:

• Complete Core Information: Populate Core Information attributes required for phased publication.

  • Categorize Product: Click to display only category and taxonomy-related attributes and update them.

  • Fill Required Attributes: Click to display only the attributes that must be populated.

  • Fix Critical Errors: Click to display only the attributes containing critical errors that need to be resolved.

  • Fix Packaging Hierarchy errors: Click on this section to open a modal to view all the packaging hierarchy issues with the following details that need to be resolved:

    • GTIN
    • Level
    • Issue description

• Complete All Sections: The Core Attributes section needs to be completed before publishing.

Step 2: Click on the Publish button to perform the initial publication.

Phase 2: Remaining sections publication

After the core attributes are published, the remaining sections can be completed in phase 2. Once the required sections are completed, the publish button is enabled under Publish the completed section and displays the total count (for example, Publish 6 Sections).
