When synchronizing your product content with Albertsons, the sync goal is to obtain an Albertsons “CIC” code. The Albertsons CIC stands for “Corporate Item Code,” which they provide to the buyer once the product hierarchy is approved by Albertsons in Product Introduction.
Once the item is approved, the CIC will show on both the item search screen and on the Hierarchy Data Page inside the item in Product Introduction. Even if an item is approved through multiple divisions, there will still only be one CIC code per hierarchy.
For multiple division set up, different merchandisers approve submitted product hierarchies at different times. Items could move back and forth through various status’ as they move the Albertsons approval process after you submit in Product Introduction. Keep an eye on your item.
