Certain information is synchronized between models, product catalog items, and vendor
catalog items.  
When working with models, product catalog items, and vendor catalog items, keep the following in mind:

* Changes to model record update vendor catalog items automatically only if the vendor catalog items are published, not linked.
* If a model is linked to a vendor catalog item, any changes to the model do not update the vendor catalog item.
* After publishing a vendor catalog item or model to the hardware or software catalog, some fields become read-only on the vendor catalog item or product catalog item record. Information can only be updated on the model record.
