Catalog

The provisioning of products and price information in the Marketplace Catalog Portal is done through catalogs. Suppliers can selectively provide their catalogs to buyers in a secure environment. Buyers have access to product and price information from their suppliers in verified quality. Additionally, any changes during updates to products and prices are securely tracked and managed.

For secure catalog provisioning, each catalog is clearly defined for which supplier and which buyer it is available to. After creating a catalog, it is necessary to define the relationship between the supplier/buyer, The supplier can then start the workflow and provide products and price lists via this catalog.
