MDM Catalog - how to set valid to date?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Or requirement is to control validation date for catalog, view or even on item level.

For instance: admin loads items to catalog, than create some views with valid to date.

When this date becomes past system do not propose such item or even a view for srm user - purchase from catalog.

How can we fulfill such requirements?

Hello Marcin,

I'm also interested in a solution to be able set validity end for catalog items in MDM Data Manager.

As I see, there is a Validity start and end field on Catalogue level (not on item level) which would be also OK for me.

However, there is no matter what I set there, it doesn't affect the visibility of the item from user PoV.

I think it is somehow connected to MDM workflows, but I don't know how to use them.

Do you have any progress on this topic?

Thanks,

Marcin,

I am not sure if you can put a valid date field and check if current date is between valid dates using named search.

Here is one way of doing it.

1. Add custom field with valid flag

2. Use Namedsearch to put a filter on it

3. Define namedsearch parameter in call structure of Web Service.

4. Turning on and off valid flag can be done nightly.
