Changing the type of merchandising association

To change the type of merchandising association, do the following:

  2. Business to consumer From the Merchandise menu, click Find Merchandising Associations.
    Business to business From the Products menu, clickFind Merchandising Associations.

  4. Select the source catalog entry, displaying the target catalog entries in the table.
  5. From the Target Catalog Entry table, select the association you want to change and do the following:
    1. Change the Association: ACCESSORY, REPLACEMENT, UPSELL, or X-SELL.

  6. Click Save.
