For lines that have large volumes of options this process will allow you to expire old options, which will then hide them from the web shop and active stock windows, without having to recreate products each season without the now discontinued options.
Marking products/options as discontinued
From the Back Office, tag the article or option you wish to mark as discontinued with the ‘Discontinued Product’ tag found in your ‘System Tags’.
Details on how to tag products can be found in section 3 on this help guide Creating and Using tags.
Once tagged you can hide discontinued articles or options from your stock tree by unticking the ‘Show Discontinued’ tick box.
If you wish to see discontinued articles in your stock tree then make sure the ‘Show Discontinued’ tick box is ticked. Articles or options that have been tagged as discontinued will display with a grey product icon.
To get details of the articles or options that have been tagged as discontinued you can run the ‘Discontinued Product Report’ from the Back Office.
Untagging the article as a ‘Discontinued Product’ will make it active again in the stock tree and remove it from the ‘Discontinued Product Report’. Tagged articles will not upload to the website
