I depends on the class of the Catalog Item!
As not all of the sc_cat_item classes has the related field to the model classes. 

I usually create the model and from the model create the Cat Item then they are liked automatically, and allso end up in the correct sc_Cat_item class, for hardware models pc_product_cat_item and for software pc_software_cat_item, there are others as well. 

So if you are in the wrong Cat Item class then you are in for a treat. 
I have never tried to move an item, or any record at all, between classes.
I have only recreated them correctly. 
And then you have a connection between model and item.

If they are in the correct classes then its just a question of updating the fields. 

But best is do do it in the correct order. 
Model then Item 🙂

I would refer to Hardware or Software Catalog Items should have a matching Product Model

There is a field called "Auto Generated" - if you set this to false, you may edit the model field in a Catalog Item.

 


If this post was helpful, I would appreciate if you marked it as such - thanks!
