Set a product's UPC

The UPC column sits after SKU. Unlike every other cell, a UPC is written once: while a product has none you can type it in, and as soon as it is saved the cell becomes read-only for that product.

Before you start

• You need the Products PIM: Read permission to open the page.
• Check the UPC before you save it. There is no way to change or clear it in Omni afterwards.
• A UPC must be unique across products and no longer than 50 characters.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, open Product Data and choose Products (PIM).
2. Click the empty UPC cell on the product’s row. If the cell does not open, the product already has a UPC.
3. Type the UPC and press Enter.

Caution

Saving a UPC does not add an entry to Undo, and the cell locks as soon as it is saved. It cannot be set for several selected products at once either: Omni refuses with A UPC is unique to one product, so it cannot be set on several at once.

What happens next

• The row saves and the UPC cell shows the value as read-only.
• If the UPC is longer than 50 characters, Omni shows UPC must be 50 characters or fewer and nothing is saved.
• If another product already has that UPC, Omni shows UPC already used by another product and the cell keeps its old value.
• If someone else set a UPC on the product since you opened the page, Omni shows This product already has a UPC, refreshes the row and locks the cell.
• You can also fill in UPC on a new row while you are adding a product. See Add a product.
