You can record product data either by importing data from the Product Management Centre (PMC), if you have access, or by entering the information manually. If PMC data is used to populate the product data, you will only need to fill in the booking specific information such as units and references, the country of origin field is also editable.

The data for the booking product is populated only from one product, either the import or the export product.
