If you have items in variant groups, you can view details about the group in your Supplier One catalog.
The Manage Variant functionality is currently available for pilot users. If you are not a pilot user, please work with your merchant to update variant groups. To manage variants in Supplier One, you must supply all the items to Walmart to maintain the variant group. If the group has items that you do not supply, the page is read-only (i.e., not editable).
Looking for information on how to set up variants or other variant-related questions? Refer to these articles:
