"STATED SIMPLY, DO NOT CLEAN HOUSE ON ITEMS THAT ARE STILL ACTIVE ON THE WEB."When you add an item in ECI it picks a LINK ITEM. you can see this link item by looking that the style view and add ITEM SID. It will display an Item sid of just one item of the entire style; this is the LINK ITEM.
The client used automark and the link item fit the criteria, no active documents in RPRO and a 0 OH QTY. so it cleaned house on that item. IF you clean house on the link item it will remove the style from the catalog. as we have all seen with ECI sometimes things dont remove themselves properly from the catalog or the web. She cleaned house 2 weeks ago and the items were still on the web untill she called today and said Items were not deleting we Ran the Purge deleted items button and it worked properly and removed it from the catalog and removed it from the web on the next polling.
