TBCATALOG

TIP:
This page and its sub-pages show the XML structure used to import product/article data catalogs via the Tradebyte XML standard TB.Cat. Each page is named after the XML node it describes and the pages are nested to reflect the structure of the XML.

Three versions of TB.Cat are currently in use: 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. Versions 1.2 and 1.3 are functionally identical when it comes to importing catalogs into TB.One. Version 1.4 offers additional features (channel-specific article activation, price lists).

Whenever the contents of a node differ between version 1.2/1.3 and 1.4 it is mentioned at the start of the page.

TIP:
The fields with grayed-out font in the table below are only mentioned for completeness's sake. They are not relevant for the import of product data into TB.One.
