Use

Normally, many people are involved in planning a product catalog. Their activities must be coordinated and controlled. The Product Catalog component supports this task by providing the following information:

The system automatically creates change documents for product catalogs. These record what was changed, who made the change, and the date on which the change was made.

Activities

Product catalog data can be exported to third-party systems, either in IDoc format from the Product Catalog menu, or via a BAPI. There are two IDoc types: one for the catalog structure and one for the position (article) data. You can manually select which catalogs or positions to export. This is useful, for example, when you want to initialize a catalog on an outside system (that is, export an entire catalog to that system for the first time). Alternatively, if you wish to update an existing catalog, you can use the ALE change pointers to detect which catalogs and positions have changed and need to have IDocs created. This reduces the quantity of data that needs to be exported.
