Good morning,
Background - experienced IM user, never used PI/VIP, trying to get a grasp on Kroger API. Recently attended both the basic and advanced seminars.
I'm trying to understand two specific fields outlined below.
Previously when adding Scheme = Kroger Class in the Classification & Identification section, several options were visible related to Produce and Meat. (Attachment "Scheme Kroger Class Selection Options" - sorry for awful quality/zoom)
Now, there is no search option or any other available information other than a blank Code field. (Attachment "Scheme Kroger Class Blank")
I cannot locate a Kroger attribute guide to understand how to classify our product, either.
GPC Brick Code: 10000045
Global Classification Category Name: Chocolate and Chocolate/Sugar Candy Combinations - Confectionery
Kroger Family Tree Class is auto-populating as 682 - Plant Care&Soil (Outdoor). The field is grey and cannot be updated. Confectionary is not a great fit with plant care/soil, although I appreciate the laugh! (Attachment: "Kroger Family Tree Class")
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information and thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello @bbissonette and thank you for utilizing the customer community. Welcome.
Once you add Kroger Class for the Scheme attribute, IM should display the following:
Clicking on "Search" opens the search option, allowing us to look for the desired class or product category:
Once a Class is added, you can still click on "Search" to pull up the search option and replace the previous Class where necessary, please.
If you have a specific GTIN on which the search function is coming up as intended, please help us with the Item ID/ GTIN and we can check further if needed. I checked Item Management using Edge and Chrome today.
I hope this helps. We are here for you if needed, please. Thank you.

Thank you, Val! The search bar loaded and was functioning as expected. Updating Kroger Class also updated the Kroger Family Tree Class.
