Configuring Catalog Management

You use the Applications Manager to set up rules and configurations for catalog management.

Configuring Catalog Components
You can configure various catalog components.
Business models
There is no single business model that encompasses the environment in which all the Sterling™ Order Management System Software applications can be used. Therefore, there is no single way to configure your Sterling Order Management System Software environment.
Catalog management configuration
The Catalog Management application enables your organization to control the information and attributes associated with items and catalogs.

Configuring products
A product item is a physical unit that can be ordered, shipped, and returned. A product item is uniquely defined by its item ID and unit of measure. You can configure items, units of measure, master catalogs, categories, classifications, and additional item attributes.
Configuring delivery services
A delivery service is a service item that is used for last mile delivery associations with product items. Last mile delivery differs from order shipping in that specific product item deliveries are made using a carrier with defined capacity constraints.
Configuring provided services
A provided service is any additional action that can be provided in an order that does not represent a physical product item.
Configuring value added services
Value-Added Services (VAS) are performed to meet customer demands. These can be the demands of a buyer, such as special creating a customized order, or doing special processes for the buyer at the warehouse, or can be provided services to the customer, such as installing a light fixture.
