We have made a new production deployment with the following updates:
NEW
Site Configuration (Phase 2)
  • Added support site-specific SalesCodeMappings via tags
In order for each site to refer to a specific SalesCodeMapping, we have enchanced the SalesCodeMapping property set to supporting definition of tags. Each part item can already today have many SalesCodeMapping property sets, therefore the basis of different mapping per site is ready now on the Product Catalog side.
NOTE: In a future deployment we add the capability to select which tag(s) are associated with which site configuration from the available Product Catalog SalesCodeMapping tags that are configured. With this, we can support that each site can refer to a specific SalesCodeMapping that applies to one or more site configurations
