Catalogs are hierarchies of items, organized into groups
for different purposes.
IBM® Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation supports
the following types of catalogs:
Master Catalog
Selling Catalog
Active Selling Catalog
Master catalog
The master catalog is a hierarchy of items, organized into
groups for ease of item maintenance. It is created by default when
a catalog organization is defined.
Selling catalog
A selling catalog is a hierarchy of item groups that are
organized to facilitate item sales.
Active selling catalog
Organizations can define any number of selling catalogs.
However, only one selling catalog can be active at a time. The active
selling catalog is used by a business as its Web channel catalog.
