Sort Sequence for Product Catalogue ISA B2B

[Former Member]

Hi there

I'm trying to find another way of sorting items within a catalogue area. As it is in the standard system , the products are simply sorted according to the Product number (acceding).

The requirement is to be able to rearrange the sequence according to alternate means such as product description. So that when it comes to browsing the product catalogue in the web shop the specific sort sequence is reflected.

we are using CRM4.0 E-Selling B2B

thanks in advance

I assume you are using the Automatic catalog option? I am not aware of a way to resort once the catalog is created, nor any options for initial sorting via the Automatic catalogs.

We use the Both or Manual catalogs as we can then control the sort by way of an external spreadsheet and then upload them and their images using the SE38 program COM_PCAT_MASS_DOC_IMPORT

Thanks for the responce,

No, we use Both Manual and Automatic too.

In this program can you re-import or is that only used for first time uploads ?

secondly does the sequence of products, within a catalogue area remain as it is in your spread sheet after the upload, or does it revert back to the accending oprder of the product numbers ?

thanks

In the Both/Manual catalogs, you upload once and they stay in the order you uploaded them.

If we get a fairly large number of new items to integrate into a catalog area, we just remove all the items for that area and then reupload, otherwise, just insert wherever it would be in the correct position if only a few new items are added at a time.
