On the product listing page in e-Business (example shown below), the information that can be displayed depends on the setup in the back office.
The following is the standard selection criteria for the product listing page:
Product_Web_Control. ECOMMERCE_BEGIN_DATE is not null and is <= current date
and (Product_Web_Control. ECOMMERCE_END_DATE is null or is >= current date)
and Product.VALID_FLAG = Y
and Product.MASTER_PRODUCT_FLAG = Y
and Product.AVAILABLE_TO_ORDERS_FLAG = Y
The
system does NOT evaluate Product.AVAILABLE_DATE, Product.EXPIRATION_DATE,
or Product.PRODUCT_STATUS_CODE as part of the product listing criteria.
ECOMMERCE_BEGIN_DATE and ECOMMERCE_END_DATE determine whether the product
appears in the listing. This allows your organizations to display products
that are expired or are available in the future.
Event dates for
meeting products do not display on the product listing, so Personify recommends
that you put event dates into the name of the product. For more information,
please see Defining
General Meeting Product Information.
