NOTE
Only Administrators can configure [Brand and model] settings.
Since Model is a subcategory of Brand, you must configure a brand before adding models.
We strongly recommend registering in the following order: Brand > Model.
1. Understanding Brand and Model
[Brand and model] serves as the database for Sales, Price, Inventory, and Display status collection. This is where you can add and modify target brands and models.
Therefore, even if only one of the four In-store data collection features is enabled, the [Brand and model] tab will also be activated.
If a product category or model name does not appear when setting up the collection lists for Sales, Price, Inventory, or Display status, please return to the [Brand and model] tab to verify the settings!
2. Registering Brand and Model
