Business Action: Add Attribute Link

This action can link a specification attribute to a product. This allows you to link an attribute with a specific hierarchy, and then inherit it to all children of that hierarchy, based on the validity of the product attribute. The attribute is displayed on the product's References tab under the 'Linked Attributes from Product Hierarchy' flipper.

For example, the product 'Dining Tables' is under a 'Furniture' section of the primary product hierarchy (PPH). A new line of LED dining tables is introduced, for which there is a new 'Battery' attribute is required. A business action can be used to create the product attribute link between the tables in the LED hierarchy and the battery attribute.
