Packages on the Web

e-Business does NOT support "Select" or "Open" packages.

If a package product is being sold on the web, you MUST web-enable each package component in order for the product name and image to be displayed as hyperlinks on the Order Summary page to open the associated product detail pages.

The e-Business Links section of the task bar includes the following screens for configuring package products for purchase from your e-Business site:

·            eBusiness Control

·            Brief Description

·            Long Description

·            Online Store Listing Images

·            Related Roles

Currently, Mobile Control has only been implemented for INV, MTG, and FND products. For more information, please see Back Office Configuration Options for Mobile.
