Parent Product

Opt

The parent product in the exceptions hierarchy. If you are adding a child from the Search Products page, this field will be automatically populated.

To select the parent product:

  1. Click Find to display a pop-up Products list for the current Tax Data Type and Product Group.
  2. Select a product by:
    • Navigating the list, and then clicking on the desired product.
    • Entering an optional Product Name or Commodity Code, and then clicking Search. If more than one match occurs, select the desired item from the Search Results menu.

If you change the parent product for an exception that itself has its own child exceptions, these children will also be moved relatively.

Commodity Code

Opt.

The commodity or harmonization code, if any, associated with the product category. To facilitate product mapping, this code can be passed in the Input XML instead of a Product Code.

Duplicate commodity codes are not allowed within the same merchant and product group combination.

When commodity codes are evaluated by the calculation engine, it first attempts to match the full code, and then strips off characters from the end of the code, one at a time, until no code remains.
