Scenario:
I am using BizTalk 2006 to im****t comma delimited product catalogs from
seven vendors. All catalogs are cleaned so duplicate products removed.
Next
the catalog is transformed into a Commerce Server product catalog schema
using Integration Services (DTSX). The final step is to overwrite the
current
product catalog by im****ting this updated catalog using BizTalk’s
commerce
server adapter.
I have not found a resource that shows how to manage products, categories,
and their relations through modifying the catalog schema.
Questions:
Is there a better way to automate product catalogs within commerce server?
If my approach is correct can you point me in the direction of a solution?
What is a good approach for catalog design when dealing with multiple
distributors with overlapping product catalogs? More specifically, how to
display only the lowest priced products while omitting higher priced
products
while allowing these higher priced products when the low cost product’s
inventory quantity is 0?
