Set up unique codes for item options

Learn how to use your Catalog Manager to set up item options and unique codes for each item option.

Article ID: SLN18523

Unique codes are required if you're setting up cross-sell items. Cross-sell won't work for two items that share the same options code or both have blank code fields.

If you have products with options data, such as apparel, you must create options codes for each possible combination of options. Once every option has its own code, you can manage the inventory level of each option as a separate item.
