Managing Classifications
Products can be included in classification catalogs. Intershop Commerce Management provides out-of-the-box support for the classification standards ecl@ss and UN/SPSC. In addition, sales organizations can define custom classification catalogs.
To manage classification assignments for a product:

For details, see Locating Products.
-
Click the name of the product.
The General tab of the Standard Product dialog is displayed.

Change to the Classifications tab.
This displays assignments to categories of standard classifications (ecl@ss and UN/SPSC) and any custom classification that may have been defined.

To define a category assignment, click Assign.
Click Unassign to invalidate an assignment. Click on the classification category to edit the assignment settings.
