Here you will learn how certain authorized users can enable the use of global objects for the E-commerce module. There are three options to perform this task:
You can navigate to Site Manager -> Settings. Using the Site drop-down list select (global) to perform the configuration globally or choose one of the available sites to perform configuration for this particular site. From the Settings tree choose E-commerce -> Global objects and mark the check boxes next to objects to be used as global objects. Click 
Save. For general information on how to configure your settings, please refer to Developer's Guide -> Website settings.
You can perform this configuration also in Site Manager -> Tools -> E-commerce configuration -> Store settings on the Global objects tab, where you need to mark the check boxes next to objects that should be used as global objects. Click Save to save the changes. However, only global configuration can be performed from here; i.e. you cannot select a site. The system thus behaves as if you selected (global) from the Site drop-down list in Site Manager -> Settings, as described in the Site Manager -> Settings section.
The third option is to go to CMS Desk -> E-commerce -> Configuration -> Store settings. Switch to the Global objects tab and mark the check boxes next to objects to be used as global objects. As you are now performing configuration for a particular site, you can optionally allow inheriting settings for the given objects from your global settings. This can be done using the Inherit from global settings check boxes; more details can be found in the Website settings chapter of the Developer's Guide. To save your configuration, click Save.
Marking check boxes in the Allow global objects for category allows global objects which can be used together with site-specific objects. Marking check boxes in the Use global settings category allows global objects which need to be used separately from their site-specific counterparts.

Please note
In the settings of their properties, global objects can only use data from other global objects. When editing a global object, only global data are thus available in the global object's editing interface, regardless of the global objects settings for the given site. A global product can have only a global department, global manufacturer and global supplier etc. assigned. Also the price of a global product is set in the global currency.
