You can also synchronize classified products from an external ERP system if you integrated Zilliant CPQ with it. For details, read About SAP ERP integration.

  4. Select the created class from the list.
  5. On the Attributes tab, select to add dynamic attributes. Select attributes, then select Add.
  6. On the bottom button bar, select Save.
    The new class with dynamic attributes is created.

Now, you need to assign the new class to a classified product:

  1. From the application left navigation area, select Products.
  2. Select a classified product.
  3. From the top navigation bar, select Knowledge Base.
  4. Select a link button to link the knowledge base class to the product.
  5. Create a knowledge base snapshot to assign the default value for dynamic attributes in the class.
