Elements inherited from parent site to child site

As a restaurant manager, when you create a supplier on a site, you must identify the information on its record that will be visible and inherited on child sites if that supplier is linked to them.

Start from: Products > Suppliers

When managing supplier records and their associated price lists from a parent site, and then linking these supplier records to child sites so that they can order from them, certain pieces of information and options from the supplier record are inherited, while others are not.

Here is the list of the inherited elements:

• Order deadline
• Shipping costs
• Minimum order amount
• Cancel shipping costs if the order is greater than the minimum order
• Prohibit an order less than the minimum order amount
• Automatically create claims
• Activate the claims workflow
• Allow a delivery date less than the minimum deadline
• Automatic email sending (claims/credit notes)
• Automatic fax sending (claims/credit notes)
• Minimum deadline between delivery and production
• Contact details phone - fax - emails
• Website
• Display a clickable confirmation link in the order email
• Use pre-orders
• Automatically close an order at maturity

Note that when a child site makes a modification to an element, the inheritance link is broken. The modification on the original supplier record present on the parent site will then not be reflected on the associated supplier record on the child site. To restore an inheritance link, an action by the technical team is necessary. Contact us to learn more.
