Hi Phyllis,

As said by Harshal, you can use external catalogs. External catalogs are product catalogs found at a partner (supplier) web site and are connected to SAP Business ByDesign. You can use external catalogs to search for a product, select it, add it to your shopping cart or purchase order, and process the order.

You must first decide for which product category you want to use a catalog. Then select one of the SAP partners who provide a catalog for this product category, get in contact with them, and integrate the catalog in your SAP Business ByDesign system. Also make sure that catalogs are OCI-compatible. To see available partners, refer to the SAP Store.

For more details, yes you can refer to - Configuration: External Catalogs from SAP-Qualified Partners.

Best Regards,

Arun
