Purpose
censhare Product Information Management (PIM) can be configured according to a Product classification system. Product classification systems are standardized data models that allow the exchange of product metadata between different platforms, suppliers, vendors. censhare supports the Global Standards One (GS1) classifications. This article describes how to set up the server actions to import a GS1 classification.
Context
Product classifications are imported in the censhare Admin-Client.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this configuration.
Introduction
To use the censhare Product Information Management (PIM) with the GPC/GS1 product classification system, you have to import the desired GPC classification into censhare. For this purpose, the "Import GPC data" server action is available. This server action has to be enabled in the censhare Admin Client. The "Import GPC data" server action can be used in the censhare Admin Client and in the censhare Client. When you set up the server actions, ensure that the users who execute them have access to the censhare Admin Client or censhare Client, respectively.
A GPC data import does not import product data. No products or product items are added to your PIM system. To import product data, you have to setup a separate server action using the censhare PIM connector.
Configure GPC/GS1 import action for censhare Client and censhare Admin-Client
Note: This configuration is done in the censhare Admin-Client.
To configure this server action, open the censhare Admin-Client and proceed as follows:
In the directory Configuration/Modules/Product classification/, open the Import GPC data entry.
If you want to setup this action on a dedicated server, select the desired server name from the dropdown list.
