Task

The supplier keeps retired products in the XML feed and marks them with status = discontinued. These offer elements must be removed completely while active products stay.

Short answer

Open the offer node settings and add an element-level export condition: the status path is not equal to discontinued.

How to do it in Eofferix

Open the offer node settings in the XML editor.
The animation shows opening the settings for the repeating offer element.
Add an export condition for the whole element: status is not equal to discontinued.
The condition checks a child value of offer, but removes the whole product element.
Save the settings and run the export preview on several supplier items.
