product associations in catalog manager

[Heidi Dehaes - Olagos]

Hello,

In the catalog manager if you choose a product , you have a tab available in
the product management page for "associations".

There are different association types available.

The only one i think which works in version 4.0 is the following one:
- complementary or cross-sell
This one is therefore visible on the e-commerce screen when accessing the
meaned product.

The other types are:
- Accessory
- Actual product component
- Also bought
- Contient
- Engineering Bill of Materials
- Equivalent or substitute
- Est emballé dans
- Incompatable
- Manufacturing Bill of Materials
- New version, replacement
- Product manufactured as
- Product variant
- Revision
- Unique Item
- Upgrade or Up-Sell

I don't see any difference in the e-commerce screen when i try to use them.

Can anyone give me more information on how to use them or how to implement
them if they are not yet implemented in version 4.0 ?

Which ftl 's i have to look into and which .java files i have to look into
in order to further develop this functionality?

thanks,

Hi Heidi,

You can refer DemoProduct.xml file of e-commerce for knowing more about
this.
We use ProdcutAssoc entity for association of one product to another and
give association type to specify what kind of association is this.
For example when we associate variants to its virtual product we give
product association type = Product variant.

Just refer the file which I have specified and you get to know the use
of other association type.

Kind Regards,
