Product Alias


Overview

A product Alias is an alternative reference of a given product that allows you to track and manage your product inventory across multiple channels. Adding Aliases to a product makes it easier to find it in the system and in the warehouse.

Add Aliases

An alias can be configured on a product to allow various search options. For example, if the UPC of a product has been recently changed, you can add the old UPC as an Alias. A product can have multiple Aliases. 

Aliases cannot be added to shadow products. Instead, they should be added to the shadow parent.
It is not possible for the alias of a specific product to be used as the alias for another product.

To search for products that have Aliases, input the alias into the Keyword field on the Manage Inventory page.
