Creating products
About this task
- Create a product Note: You cannot create a product in the sales catalog. Add a product by copying an existing one from the master catalog.
- Copy an existing product

When you create a catalog entry in an extended sites
store, either directly or by copying an inherited catalog entry, avoid specifying a code for the
catalog entry that is a duplicate of an inherited catalog entry code. An extended site store catalog
entry and a catalog asset store catalog entry can have the same code because the catalog entries
belong to different stores. If duplicate codes exist, store functions that retrieve catalog entries
by only the code value can behave unexpectedly or can result in an error. For example, if a store
function uses the code to retrieve only a single catalog entry and instead finds two catalog entries
that have the same code, an error can occur. Ensure that the code value that you set for any
extended site store catalog entry does not exist for an inherited catalog entry. If your extended
site store does include duplicate codes, use the Catalogs tool to change the codes for your extended
site store catalog entries.
