The purpose of catalog group systems is to structure articles hierarchically. The catalogue group system contains the following elements:
- CATALOG_GROUP_SYSTEM
- GROUP_SYSTEM_ID
- GROUP_SYSTEM_NAME
- CATALOG_STRUCTURE
- GROUP_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION
Requirements:
→ There is no output of the catalogue group system within the API.
→ Catalogue group system can be constructed from the elements CATALOG_STRUCTURE
→ The product groups can be chosen freely
→ The item number is allocated to the respective product group via ARTICLE_TO_CATALOGGROUP_MAP
→ An item can be allocated to several product groups
→ If no CATALOG_GROUP_SYSTEM is defined in the catalogue, problems concerning the availability of the items and the search can occur
