7. Optional: If this Option List (attribute) does not have options associated with it, enter modifiers that should be added to the base Price, Cost or Weight fields of the inventory item when this attribute is purchased. These fields are set to zero by default, and will not be used if options are assigned to this attribute.

10. Optional: Select the box labeled Use when building Sub-SKUs to have the options in the selected Option Lists appear as part of the subSKU when building subSKUSthrough this user interface. The setting of this field is only applicable if you are using a Miva Merchant cart and have installed ModStop’s Inventory Track Pro or Viking Coders Inventory Manager for real-time inventory tracking. (System parameters UseModStopInventoryTrk or UseVikingCodersInventoryMgr = TRUE)

Be aware that If sub-SKUs are built as a result of an order or product import and the XMLfile does not include order option information (WebOptionCodeDelimiter, with or without AddToSubSKUIfNoCodeDelimiter) the program sets this field to TRUE, although it is not used when building subSKUs at this user interface unless the conditions in the previous paragraph are met.
