Note: some brands can have two or more brands mapped to a single manufacturer entry. For example, if users have created a manufacturer entry as Halo rather than one for Halo-Rec and one for Halo-Trac, then both Halo-Rec and Halo-Trac can be mapped to the Halo manufacturer entry. However, if users have already created individual manufacturer entries for Halo-Rec and Halo-Trac, they should be mapped to their respective brands in the mapping window.

 

Non-Core Child Brand Set Up

The following manufacturers are part of the non-core Cooper lines:

  • Corelite
  • Neoray
  • Specialty Products
    • Ametrix
    • IO Lighting
    • RSA
    • Shaper 
    • Pentalux

 

The Manufacturer Entry General Tab

Users should create a Manufacturer entry for each non-core child brand with the following selected:

  • Identify the Cooper manufacturer entry as the parent company from the Parent Company drop-down
  • The Flash specialization selected from the Specialization drop-down list
