When users submit products below a product family from PDX, the family grouping attribute value will be mapped in Data Management Accelerator for Retail to the supplier's master product ID attribute on each external source record object when it is created. The value will be dynamically constructed using the following format convention:
[PDX client ID]_[Family Grouping attribute/ID value]
Although products might be grouped as product families in PDX, they are exported to Accelerator for Retail in a flat structure in the same way as all other external source records are exported.
All newly created external source records enter the external record handling workflow to be accepted, rejected, or sent back to PDX for rework, and events are generated per individual external source record.
