# Business Rules

When updating products, please bear in mind the following business rules.\
• The 'Brand' parameter won’t be mandatory, if the (SKU) codes in the product catalog are unique. If there are two (SKU) codes with different brands, the change will be reported as invalid.\
• The 'Brand' parameter can be set by ID or Name.\
• The 'SKU' parameter is mandatory and should match with the product code in the catalog.\
Despite the name, the product code set in this attribute works with the "SKU" or "Owncode" product codes from the catalog.\
First, the API will try to find the product using the stored "SKU" attribute/value of the product. If it does not find any product, then it will try to find the product using the stored "Owncode" attribute/value of the product. If it could not find a product either, it will return error code 404 (Not found)
