This procedure is intended for SFCC administrators responsible for configuring Product Detail Pages in Page Designer and maintaining the relationship between products and their Page Designer pages.

A Product Detail Page created in Page Designer must be linked to the corresponding product references.

This relationship is configured through Page Settings, using two critical tabs:

• Assignments
• Attributes

Both must be configured correctly.

Understand the Reference Types

Before configuring the page, distinguish between the two types of product references used in this procedure.

GEN Code

The GEN Code is the master product reference.

Example:

0017

SKU

The SKU represents a product reference associated with the master product.

SKUs typically use references beginning with:

700...

A single GEN Code can therefore be associated with multiple SKUs.

The Assignment Logic

The fundamental rule is:

For example, if:

GEN Code: 0017

and the product has several associated SKUs, Assignments must contain 0017 together with all of those SKU references.

Under Attributes → Product, enter only:

0017

This establishes the relationship between the product and its Page Designer Product Detail Page.

Do Not Confuse Assignments and Attributes

These two tabs do not contain the same information.

Assignments = GEN Code + SKUs

Attributes = GEN Code only

Do not populate Attributes → Product with all of the individual SKUs.

Keep Assignments Up to Date

The relationship must be maintained throughout the lifecycle of the product.

If a new SKU / product iteration is subsequently introduced under the same GEN Code, that new SKU must also be added to:

Page Settings → Assignments

Otherwise, the Product Page assignment will not reflect the complete set of product iterations.

Use the Correct Salesforce Reference Format

Use the product references as they exist in Salesforce.

For SKUs, remember that Salesforce references use the Salesforce-formatted ID.

1. Open the Product Page in Page Designer

Navigate to the Product Detail Page that needs to be associated with the product.

Open the page in Page Designer.

2. Open Page Settings

Open:

Page Settings

The Page Settings window contains several tabs, including:

• General
• Localization
• Targeting
• SEO
• Assignments
• Attributes

For this procedure, the two critical tabs are:

Assignments and Attributes.

3. Open the Assignments Tab

Select:

Assignments

The Products section displays the product references assigned to the Page Designer page.

Click:

Edit

to modify the product assignments.

4. Assign the GEN Code

Add the product's GEN Code to the product assignments.

For example:

0017

The GEN Code must be included because it represents the master product reference.

5. Assign All Associated SKUs

In the same Assignments configuration, add all SKUs associated with that GEN Code.

The final assignment must therefore contain:

GEN Code + SKU + SKU + SKU...

For example, conceptually:

0017, 700..., 700..., 700...

The exact number of SKUs depends on the product and the iterations currently associated with its GEN Code.

6. Save the Assignments

Once the GEN Code and all relevant SKUs have been assigned, save the configuration.

Return to Page Settings if required.

7. Open the Attributes Tab

Select:

Attributes

Locate the required field:

Product

This field follows a different rule from the Assignments tab.

8. Enter the GEN Code Only

Under:

Attributes → Product

enter only the GEN Code.

For example:

0017

Do not enter the individual SKUs in this field.

The rule is:

Attributes → Product = GEN Code only

9. Save Page Settings

Once both tabs have been configured, click:

Save

The Product Page and the corresponding product references are now linked.

10. Validate the Complete Assignment

Before considering the configuration complete, verify both tabs.

Assignments

Confirm that Products contains:

• The GEN Code
• Every SKU currently associated with that GEN Code

Attributes

Confirm that Product contains:

• The GEN Code only

The two configurations should therefore follow this pattern:

Maintaining the Assignment When a New SKU Is Created

This is not a one-time configuration.

A product may receive new SKUs over time as new iterations are introduced.

Whenever a new SKU is created under an existing GEN Code, return to the corresponding Product Detail Page in Page Designer.

Open:

Page Settings → Assignments

and add the new SKU to the existing Product assignments.

The Attributes → Product value remains the GEN Code.

For example:

Initially

Assignments:
0017, SKU A, SKU B

Attributes:
0017

After a new product iteration is introduced

Assignments:
0017, SKU A, SKU B, SKU C

Attributes:
0017

The GEN Code remains unchanged in Attributes while the Assignments list evolves with the product.

Final Validation Checklist

Before completing the task, verify that:

• You are working on the correct Product Detail Page.
• The correct GEN Code has been identified.
• Assignments contains the GEN Code.
• Assignments contains all existing SKUs associated with the GEN Code.
• Attributes → Product contains only the GEN Code.
• No individual SKU has been entered as the Product value under Attributes.
• Page Settings have been saved.
• Any future SKU created for this product will also be added to Assignments.

Key principle: Assignments represents the complete product family, meaning the GEN Code and every associated SKU. Attributes → Product identifies the master product and therefore contains the GEN Code only. Every time a new SKU iteration is introduced, update Assignments so that the same Product Detail Page remains associated with the complete product family.
