Sales Category Entity
This topic provides reference information about the standard filtering and field mapping used for the Sales Category entity during the synchronization between MYOB Advanced and BigCommerce. The topic also contains information about the merging of duplicate records during the synchronization.
Merging of Duplicates
During the synchronization of the Sales Category entity, a sales category in the source system is merged with an existing sales category in the destination system if the Name of the product category in BigCommerce matches the Description of the item sales category in MYOB Advanced.
Sales Category Mapping
The following table shows the mapping of MYOB Advanced fields and BigCommerce fields that is used during the export of sales category data from MYOB Advanced to BigCommerce and during the import from BigCommerce to MYOB Advanced.
| BigCommerce | MYOB Advanced | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Field Name | Page Object | Field Name | Form Object |
| Name | Edit Category page > Category Details section | Description | Item Sales Categories (IN204060) |
| Parent Category | Edit Category page > Category Details section | Parent Category | Item Sales Categories |
When the Sales Category entity is synchronized, the order in which item sales categories are displayed on the Item Sales Categories form in MYOB Advanced and on the Product Category page in BigCommerce (and ultimately on the storefront) is also synchronized.
