Before enabling lot management you need to consider all implications of such action. If you are unsure about that please contact Swiss Post support for more information.

Disconnect from YellowCube

A product can be disconnected from YellowCube by disabling the Sync with YellowCube option. The option is visible under Yellow Cube tab at the bottom of the product edit page.

Disconnected products will not be sent to YellowCube as order items if they are part of an order.

If you later reconnect the product again, it will match the previously created product at YellowCube again based on the SKU.
