Users - Deactivating products

[Nick Olson-2]

I'm trying to import ~40000 products from a different database into OFBiz right now. However, many of the products have been deactivated for a number of reasons (discontinued by manufacturer, duplicate product information, etc) . I need these products to import into the OFBiz database, but I don't want them to be visible from the ecommerce site.

What is the best way to deactivate a product in OFBiz? You can set the sales discontinuation date to prevent it from being sold, but I need to make it so the product won't be visible to customers at all, and won't come up in customer searches.

Using categories (search and view in instance, see OFBiz Basic Production Setup Guide) is a way, perhaps not the easier ?

Hi Nick,

 

Just don’t create any ProductCategoryMember entries for the deactivated ones, and they shouldn’t show up on the public cart.
