Creating department groups

You can create a department group for a store. For example, you can create an "Apparel" group to include men's, women's, and kid's clothing departments.

Before you begin

Create departments for the catalog organization of the store, if not already created.

Procedure

  1. Perform the following steps to view store administration rules:
    1. Log on to Sterling Business Center as a system administrator.
    2. From the Organization menu, select the organization for which you want to apply the rules.
    3. Click System Setup. The System Setup home page opens.
    4. Expand the Store Administration menu. A list of store administration rules is displayed.

    Note: You can create a department group only for an organization that is configured as a store.
  3. Click Add to add a new department group in Order Type Groups panel. The New Value window is displayed.
  4. In the Department Group ID field, enter a unique value to identify the group.
  5. In the Department Group field, enter an appropriate name for the group.
  6. Click Save, the department group is created.
  7. Select the department group and the departments that you want to include in the group.
  8. Click Save.
