Implementing department-level settings will significantly streamline the process of adding new items to your product file, improving overall operational efficiency.
When activating or editing department settings, you can choose to enable, disable, or exclude each attribute as needed.
Setting | Definition | Example |
Enable | Turning on an attribute | If EBT is Enabled, it will add the EBT flag to all items in the department.  |
Disable | Removes attribute and does not allow for item-level change. | If Taxes are Disabled, you won't be able to apply taxes at the item level, and any taxes previously applied will be removed.  |
Exclude | Does not force enable or disable department-level settings. Changes can be made at the Product-level. | If Containers is Excluded, you can add a container at the Product-level.  |
🚨Department-level settings will override any current item-level settings.
