3. In the Fields mapping section, you can optionally select fields that will be automatically populated with values from the specified SKU fields.

 

4. Using the Default department property in the New product creation section you can optionally specify a department that will by default be responsible for a product created based on the given product type.

 

Besides, the This document type represents property in this section allows you to choose a default representation for the product (Standard product is selected by default).

 

You can also specify whether a product object (SKU) should be created automatically when a new document of the given type is created using the respective checkbox.
