Expected results

• The system creates the Product for the current variant combination.
• The Product is automatically associated with the Item.
• One variant Item can correspond to multiple Products, with one variant combination for each Product.
• The Item centrally maintains public information such as Product Category and Unit, so the Product page cannot edit it independently.
• When both features are enabled, all variant Products inherit and share the same multiple-Unit configuration maintained by the Item.
• Changes to public Item information synchronize to related Products.
• Product Price is maintained according to the applicable Price Book.
• To adjust multiple Units for a variant Item, maintain the configuration in the corresponding Item. Changes synchronize to all Products under that Item.
• The system can Auto Associate each Product with its Item and variant combination.
