What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the manual, error-prone steps of configuring Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) Business Manager and performing bulk catalog, inventory, and price imports by providing clear guidance on XML structure, IMPEX upload patterns, job triggering, and site-preference configuration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Catalog and Product Imports: Build Demandware-compliant catalog XML with categories, simple products, and variation masters so products appear in the storefront after import.
- Inventory and Pricebook Processing: Format inventory and pricebook XML feeds and assign pricebooks and inventory lists to sites.
- Job Automation & Uploads: Use WebDAV patterns and the Jobs API to upload files to IMPEX and trigger import jobs programmatically, with guidance for parallel execution and logging.
- Site Preferences & Cartridge Access: Define system-objecttype-extensions for custom site preferences and show how to read preferences from server-side cartridges.
- Use Case: Automate nightly ERP-to-SFCC feeds for catalog, inventory, and pricing while monitoring import logs to detect silent failures like "0 records processed".
Quick Start
Upload catalog.xml to the SFCC IMPEX src folder via WebDAV and trigger the catalog import job using the Jobs API.
