Set Up Matrix Items for Grid Order

Set up matrix items to display options as a grid after enabling Grid Order for your domain. Grid Order works with matrix items that have one or two matrix item options. For example, a shirt with size and color options is a good example of an item that can use Grid Order.

To set up a matrix item to display item options as a grid:

  1. Access the matrix item in NetSuite where you want to apply Grid Order.

    Search NetSuite for the matrix item or go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

    Important:

    Set Grid Order for the Matrix Item record (parent), not the Matrix Subitem.

  2. Click Edit next to the matrix item you want to change.

  3. Go to the SuiteCommerce Extensions subtab.

  4. In the Grid Order area:

    1. Set the Grid Order Behavior field to control how the item displays information in the Product Detail page.

      Choose from these options::

      • Default Site Behavior: Choose this option to turn Grid Order on or off for as many matrix items as you want at one time, using the Activate for All Matrix Items field on the SC Configuration record. If Activate for All Matrix Items is checked, an order grid displays for items with Default Site Behavior selected.

        For more information, see Configure Grid Order.

      • Always Activate for This Item: Choose this option to display the matrix dimensions of this item as a grid, ignoring the default website configuration.

      • Deactivate for This Item – Choose this option to deactivate the purchasing grid for this item, ignoring the default website configuration.

    2. Check the Show Stock Quantities option to display the in-stock quantity in the grid. Clear this option to hide quantities in stock.

      For out-of-stock items, this option follows the Out of Stock Behavior on the Item record. For more information, see Setting Web Store Back Order and Out-of-Stock Preferences.

    3. Check the Activate Stock Notifications option to display a Notify Me link for out-of-stock items not available on backorder.

      Note:

      The SC Stock Notifications extension must be installed and activated on the same domain to be used in conjunction with this extension.

  5. Click Save.

Integration with Other SuiteCommerce Features

This extension integrates with the following SuiteCommerce features:

  • Quantity Pricing: If enabled, options with quantity pricing options display an expandable price chart. For details, see Quantity Pricing.

  • Stock Notifications: If your domain uses the Stock Notifications extension, each item includes an option to sign up for stock notification emails. For details, see Stock Notifications.

  • Require Login for Pricing: If enabled and the user isn't logged in when viewing the Product Details page, the Grid Order extension won't appear. A message will ask users to log in to see the price. Clear the Require Login for Pricing box on the Web Site Configuration record to let users use Grid Order without logging in. For more information, see Shopping Preferences.
