Cross-listing same product in different categories

Post by baburch » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:23 am

I can't find a way to do this... I tried copying the product and then moving the copy to the other category, but then when I do a list of all products, it shows the products twice.

I'm worried this will screw up our inventory....Will it count the products separately or as the same item?

When editing a product select the Categories button. From here you can put a check next to as many categories as you would like the product to appear in.
Is that what you were talking about?

Yes don't copy the product record so you can list it in multiple categories - that will screw up your inventory.

You use the product screen to put checkboxes into all the categories you want that product to appear in - system handles the rest for you.
