| Suppliers
are associated with and visible in certain partitions. Therefore, the
catalog kit's supplier will limit the kit's partition visibility. For
example, if KitA's supplier is Spill's Suds, then KitA will only be visible
in the partitions associated with Spill's Suds. To make a kit visible
in all partitions, choose Unspecified supplier. To limit the partitions
the kit is visible in, use the Choose partition(s) for kit check
box.
When you require approval of a catalog kit, a kit approval request
is sent to the user with the Professional Buyer role (by default). When
the kit is approved, it is immediately activated in the product catalog.
You must choose a commodity code for the catalog kit. The commodity
code you choose adds the kit to a particular area of the catalog hierarchy.
For example, if you choosing the commodity code Garden Tools puts the
kit in the catalog hierarchy under the Tools and General Machinery >
Hand Tools branch.
