Product Status

Product status refers to the attributes online/offline and availability.

  • Products can be set online or offline. A product set offline is not visible in the storefront any longer. The product status can be set to apply always, from a future point in time onwards, or during a limited time interval. Product status definitions can be used via advanced search.

  • Availability indicates whether a product is in stock or not.

Product status attributes can be used as advanced search parameters.

Note: Both attributes are checked before an order is created. If a product has turned offline or is not available anymore after having been added to a basket or requisition, it cannot be ordered.

In product list views, the product status is illustrated using the icons explained in the following table.
