Update Existing Products from the Product Catalog

October 01, 2024October 01, 2024

You can easily update products already saved in the system with new or missing information using the Product Catalog tool. This is especially useful when a product is missing important details such as images or descriptions that can be found in the Product Catalog.

  1. Go to Inventory > Products to search for the item you want to update and click on the product title.
  2. Using the Catalog Search at the top of the Product Information tab, enter the name of the product you are updating or scan in the barcode, and then hit Enter.

  1. From here you can filter the results by the vendor using the Filter button. If what you want isn't in the filters list, you can click to View Catalog Sources to see the full list of vendors.

  1. Hover your mouse over the images to see some of the information for the item and press the Add Item button to update the product.
  2. A window will open giving you the option to update or replace the existing information. Clicking Update will only add information from the catalog for areas that don't already have info saved. For example, if this product already contains an image it would not replace it with the one from the catalog. If you clicked to Replace, the catalog would replace any existing information with the details from the saved catalog listings. This is useful if you want to update a product description with a more detailed or more current one from the catalog.

  1. Once you verify the information has been updated, click the Save Product at the bottom to save your changes. Leaving the page or pressing the Close button will not save the updated information.
