Post a Variation to Sears

To post variations to Sears, the children need to be ready and enabled for Sears. This is because inventory is updated from the individual child product, not from the matrix parent. 

To post a variation to Sears:

1. Go to Catalog > Manage Catalog > Open a Variation Parent > Toolbox > Sears Properties > Edit.
2. Ready the parent for Sears.
3. Go to the Listing Details Panel and click Configure Attributes > Configure the variation attributes.
4. Select the appropriate attributes for each variation child. The text field next to the attribute is for Trademark values, when applicable. This is required. Make sure the children are ready for listing and Enabled for Sears on their Sears Product Properties page.

Relevant Client Settings 

• Send Sears Map Price Indicator as Strict

• • When enabled for certain products, the Send Sears Map Price Indicator as Strict Client Setting in Sellercloud informs Sears that these items have a strict Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy. Sellercloud then sends a clear indicator to Sears,  ensuring these products maintain compliance with the stringent MAP pricing rules, even if the MAP price is lower than the listed Site Price.
