You can make changes to the inherited properties of an individual product or family by overriding its properties. For example, for a shirt family, the size can vary between small, medium, and large. A product inside this family will inherit the same property. You can override the property to define the actual size of an individual shirt to medium.
-
Open the product you want to override the property of.
-
Click the property you want to override.
-
In the Product Properties form, on the command bar, click Override.
-
Change the details as required, and save the properties record.
Note
You can override properties only for products and families that have inherited properties from the parent family.
In the following cases, you’ll see the Overwrite option instead of the Override option:
-
You’re trying to change non-inherited properties of a product family that’s in the Under Revision status.
-
You’re trying to change the inherited and already overridden properties of a child product family or product. If the inherited properties of the child product or family weren’t overridden, you’ll see the Override option.
Note
Child families can have their own properties in addition to inherited ones.
