How to Create and Map Seasons in Product Store
This demo showcases how to create and map seasons within Product Store.
The purpose of creating and mapping seasons is to harmonize season names and conventions across the network and to find a standard regarding the naming of seasons. This is very helpful for the retailers wanting to be able to segment their products into harmonized seasons with consistent naming regardless what their suppliers choose to name their seasons. Seasons are used in the platform as a way to partition product data, meaning all product master data is contained within one universal season. Creating seasons is mandatory before uploading any product catalogues. Uploads of product catalogues using a season not already created will render a validation error and stop the upload prompting the user to create the season before proceeding.
