List Articles

The list article feature can be used to save time during manual master data maintenance. In contrast to the master article, the list article feature has effects across product boundaries.

TIP:
Be conscious of your article list configuration when using the list article feature.

The list article feature can be accessed via the option "Bulk editing". This feature can be found under "Articles > Article list". It generally affects all articles which are currently listed in the article list (the active filters are taken into account).

ATTENTION:
If you do not set any filter, bulk editing will affect all your articles!

Note that your filter settings can result in a list that may be several pages long! In this case, a page number drop-down will be displayed in the lower right corner.

Changes made via the bulk editing feature will be applied to the articles listed on all of these pages. Therefore, you need to make sure only the articles you want to edit are listed.

Changes made through bulk editing cannot be undone!
