Style Checker

Overview

The Style Checker allows retrieving detailed information about a specific article down to the variation level, providing insights into how products are processed within the search system.

Executing the Checker

Tip

The primary input for the Style Checker is the style ID. If unavailable, fallback inputs like article number or variation SKU may also be used.

• Enter the style ID in the input field.
• Article number can be used as a fallback.
• Variation SKU is also supported (recent feature in iPIM).
• Click “Search Style” to fetch article details.
• If the style ID exists, all associated information of the corresponding style will be displayed — even when a variation SKU is used.
• If the article is not found, an error message will appear.
