Import and export packaging hierarchies (linked products)
In the Retail platform, you can now import packaging hierarchies (or linked products) via a CSV import and export them to the needed channels using the Retail PX API. It was previously possible only manually.
You can now link each product to one lower-level product in a hierarchy by providing the GTIN and quantity of the respective lower-level product in its data within a CSV import. For example, you can import and export linked products in a scenario similar to this:
In the PALLET unit, you can provide the GTIN and Quantity of the relevant DISPLAY unit.
In the DISPLAY unit, you can provide the GTINs and Quantities of three CASE units.
In the CASE units, you can provide the GTIN and Quantity of the respective BASE unit.
When you import data with the GTINs and quantities of lower-level products, the Retail platform automatically connects all the linked products and displays the respective hierarchy tree on the product detail page.
