Cloud Catalog Form Details

• The Hide Local/ Show Local button is a toggle that hides local products that match the search item (on the Hide Local setting) and shows the local products which are greyed out and will not be selectable (on the Show Local setting). Use it to compare local products with what's in Cloud Product Catalog.
• Vendor/Supplier is preselected.
• Searches can be done by Description, VPN or UPC by using the dropdown menu. For VPN and UPC you must use the exact value. Description can be searched by entering three (3) or more characters.
• When the search brings up an item with a light pink highlighted row, that means your store has an in-store product that is not associated with a vendor. If you decide to bring it to your store, it adds a vendor product from the cloud to your database.
• The Add button adds the selected products to your store.
• The Add & Order button adds selected products to your store and also adds it to PO.
• The Close button closes the form and takes you back to the previous screen.

Product Highlighted in Red

• If you see a product highlighted in red like the image above, it means the product exists in your store, but doesn’t have a vendor product associated to it.
• If you choose to add this to your store, the vendor product will link itself to the existing in-store product.
• To perform this link, click Yes on the pop up window displayed below.
