3.1 Setting Up Sub-SKU System Parameters

If you are going to work with Sub-SKUs in your Order Manager, you need to define a number of system parameters related to Sub-SKUs.  

Decide on the syntax you will use for your SKUs by considering the following information:

• Determine the character you will use to separate the Parent SKU parts from the option SKU part. For example, you can use a dash (“-”).

• Determine if you will include the Parent SKU in the Sub-SKU. The Parent SKU is typically included in the Sub-SKU.

• Analyze the syntax of Attributes Codes in Miva Merchant. You can define necessary Parameters such as WebOptionCodeDelimiter.

• Determine the greatest number of Option lists that the program will use when building Sub-SKUs.

• Determine if there are order option options value that you do not want to be added to the built Sub-SKUs. (You can not include WebOptionCodeDelimiter in such options and set AddToSubSKUIfNoCodeDelimiter to "True.")

Example: If your customer orders SKU 001 in green and medium, the Sub-SKU could be "001-green-medium." Or the Options can be coded to result in shorter Sub-SKUs, resulting in "001-gr-m."

Notice: In this section, only Sub-SKU related System Parameters will be described. There are also Miva Merchant related System Parameters that must be set before using Miva Merchant. See Miva Merchant System Parameters.
