The article is still created at all other shops in the Head Office system but as an inactive article.

The article will be automatically activated (and labels generated) at each of the other shops in the Head Office system when any of the following occur:

  • a GRN / invoice referencing the article is processed at the shop (via Goods > Receiving on a Back Office)
  • a price/promotion update file referencing the article is received and activated at the shop (via Management > Batch Processing on the Back Office)
  • a product amendment file referencing the article is received and activated at the shop (via Management > Batch Processing on the Back Office)
  • the article is manually activated via the Article Maintenance screen at the shop (Maintenance > Article on the Back Office)

The inactive article can still be scanned at the tills of the other shops, but can't be manually searched for on the tills via Article Lookup until it has been activated as described above.

In this scenario if an inactive article is scanned at the till, added to a basket and processed as a sale, the article will then be automatically activated.
