Additional Product Category Information (New)

Use

This release note is only relevant if upgrading from SAP CRM 5.0.

Additional product category information is now available in the product catalog of the B2B Web shop. This additional product category information is indexed to the Index Management Service (IMS) server and then displayed on the Product Details page in the product catalog.

Indexing Additional Product Category Information

The index consists of multiple documents that are described and characterized by attributes. One of these documents can be a product catalog item that belongs to a certain product catalog area. The already existing attributes for a product catalog item are now enhanced by additional product category information.

As of this release, the product category information consists of four additional attributes: Product Category, Product Hierarchy, Category Description, and Hierarchy Description. These attributes are designed as multi-value attributes.

These four new multi-value attributes are indexed to the IMS server via an initial - or delta indexing process. During the indexing, the product category information is retrieved from master data and send as multi-value attributes to the IMS server. The Product Category and Product Hierarchy are expected to be always available. If the Category Description and the Hierarchy Description are missing in a catalog variant language, a placeholder is sent to the IMS server instead.

Displaying Additional Product Category Information

For every item that is displayed on the Product Details page in the product catalog, it is checked if the attribute Product Category is set.

  • If the Product Category is set, it depends on the number of entries what is displayed on the Product Details page. If there is only one entry, the Category Description and the Hierarchy Description are shown in two separate rows. If there are more entries, the data is shown in a table with the Category Description in the first and the Hierarchy Description in the second column.
  • If the Product Category is not set, nothing is displayed on the Product Details page.
