Before you can offer products for resale in your retail channels, you must create and configure the products in Retail essentials. Retail essentials uses the product features to create organization-wide products in the product master. This topic explains how to create and configure products in Retail essentials.
A product must be defined at the shared company level before the product can be used by Retail essentials. After the product is defined, the product definition must be released, or authorized for use. During the release, the product definition is associated with one or more companies.
Note
In Retail essentials, the form that you use to complete this task includes a subset of the controls that are available for other configurations of Retail. If a topic about this form describes controls that you don't see, it may be because you’re using Retail essentials.
