SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view a product through a browser in a Commerce Server 2000 online store, you may see the following informational message:

The product you requested is not currently available through this catalog.



CAUSE
The product you are trying to view is a product based on a product definition that requires a product variant, but no product variants have been defined.



RESOLUTION
Either add a product variant to the product, or change the product definition to a definition that does not require a product variant.



MORE INFORMATION
A product definition can include product properties and product variant properties. For example, the &quot;Book&quot; product definition in the Retail site includes product properties and also product variant properties, while the &quot;Generic Product&quot; definition only includes product properties with no product variant properties.

If a product is created based on the &quot;Book&quot; product definition, and no variant product is created, the following message occurs when you attempt to view the item in the catalog:

The product you requested is not currently available through this catalog.

However, if the product is created with the &quot;Generic Product&quot; product definition, the item is viewable in the catalog.
