Why have variant overrides?
‘Variant overrides’ enable a stock level and price of a variant to be overridden for a specific Hub. This means that the Producer and Product information is kept intact and it is the same Product / Variant, but:
- a Hub can retain the P/V in stock, and draw from the amount that they have (not the amount that the Producer has)
- a Hub can override the price set by the Producer (for example if they want to do a special on it)
- [CHECK] a Producer can set a stock availability or price that is specific to one Hub
Variant overrides are set using the Overrides tab, under Products
When can a User override variant values?
[CHECK] As an enterprise user, I can override variants when I can manage products. I can do this when I manage any enterprise that is not a profile.
When I do so, I am limited in the hubs that I can create overrides for. I can only create overrides for the hubs that I can add to an order cycle.
I am also limited in the products that I can create overrides for. This limitation depends on the producer of the product. I can create overrides for products of producers where I manage the producer or I have been granted “create variant override” permission from the producer.
Who can edit a tagged variant?
Variant override permissions are managed via E2E Links and Permissions, so they are accessible by any Manager of permitted Enterprises.
