Cascading Shared Attribute Values
You can enable cascading of attribute values from bundles to the associated options when you have defined shared attributes. Initially, the bundle attributes will be cascaded to options in the bundle, but subsequent changes in the bundle attribute will not be cascaded to option attributes. You can enable the cascading of attribute values at the global level or individual attribute level.
You can define the Cascade Shared Attributes Updates custom setting to enable cascading of attribute values globally. At the attribute level, you can enable cascading for a particular attribute after associating them to a Product Attribute Group. You can also enable cascading selectively for different actions of Asset-Based Ordering. When you define cascading at the attribute level, the Cascade Shared Attributes Updates custom setting is ignored for that attribute.
Cascading is executed based on the combination of the Cascade Shared Attribute Updates and Cascade Shared Attribute Status fields. The following table explains the various combination of these fields:
Cascade shared attribute updates | Cascade shared attribute status | Description |
|---|---|---|
Yes | Renewed, Upgraded | Cascading is only executed for renewedand upgraded line items. |
Yes | Blank | Cascading is executed for all the line items with exception of line items with Cancelled and Merged line statuses. |
No | Blank | Cascading is not executed for any line item. |
Blank | Regardless of the values selected in Cascade Shared Attribute Status, cascading is executed based on the Cascade Shared Attributes Updates custom setting. | |
No | Renewed, Upgraded | Cascading is executed for all the line items with exception of line items with Renewed and Upgraded line statuses. |
