Product Catalog Structure (SAP Library

Product Catalog Structure

Use

The product catalog is divided into the product catalog header and product catalog areas. The product catalog areas are further divided into a header and items. The catalog areas contain catalog items, that is, the connection between the product catalog and products.

You can create several variants from a product catalog (see Product Catalog Variants).

Features

Catalog header

You can determine a particular catalog type and can enter additional data, valid for the entire product catalog. For more information, see Creating Catalog Headers.

Catalog variants

You determine the actual specification of a catalog, using catalog variants. Defining several catalog variants allows you to generate catalogs in several languages, currencies or distribution chains on the basis of the same set of data.

For further information, see Creating Catalog Variants.

Catalog areas

With this function you can structure and organize your product catalog to fit your needs. You can:

Create as many catalog areas as you wish and arrange them hierarchically. Each catalog area can contain further catalog areas or products.
Create catalog areas without items for the structuring of your Web shop.

For more information, see Creating Catalog Areas.
