You
cannot add new items to supplier catalogs that save the status of Activated.
To add items to an active supplier catalog, you must first deactivate
it. Also, if the NoUpdateAfterApprove parameter is set to
true, you cannot add items to catalogs of any status that have
been sent for approval. For more information about this parameter, see
the Ariba Buyer Catalog Guide.
Some fields on this screen can have multiple values. For example, you
can enter multiple domain-value pairs for the classification code field.
Other fields that allow multiple values are type attributes that contain
collections. For more information about types attributes and collections,
see the Ariba Catalog Format Reference.

- Review the fields and any default values.
- Edit any editable fields or click select
to change, add, or clear values as necessary.
Some catalog fields are not editable in certain situations. For
example, in regular single supplier catalogs, the supplier field
is not editable. However, if you are adding a new item to a catalog
imported as a multi-supplier
CIF, the supplier field is editable.
- For fields that allow for more than one value:
- Click Save to save your changes, or Cancel
to return to the previous screen without saving your changes.
When you save your changes, the catalog item is automatically validated
in the current version of the catalog. A new version of the catalog
is not created when you add new items, but the addition is
noted in the catalog's history.
If the item you added contains errors, they are listed in the contents
of the catalog. For example, if you give an item the same Supplier
ID, Supplier Part ID, and Supplier Part Auxiliary ID as an item
already in the catalog subscription, the new item is considered
a duplicate and produces an error.
