Configurable item templates
I'm trying to load Item and Product data from third party systems. The data feed is received via Excel File.
Initially, the plan was to use Item loader and create Item and product data. Since Item loader will load only the Product master table, I designed an App engine+CI combo to load the other Product attributes table.
When I was reading the Peoplebooks, came through the Configurable Item templates.

This says, when I load an Item and create a Product along with it, I can use the Configurable Item template to load the Product attributes table too. When I tried to work on this, the Configurable item template allows me to default values for the Product attribute tables (like UOM, Assign list price tables). But in my case, each Product will have different attributes.
