You can find this section under Feed Management > Category Maps in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.
Category Maps allow you to map your categories in the IRP to the categories used by the third party to whom you are providing the feed.
You can create these for different third-party providers depending on what they require.
The main FeedCategoryMaps.aspx page appears as follows:
This shows the following details:
- ID: This is a unique ID for the Category Map, added automatically by the IRP.
- Map Name: This is the name of the Category Map.
- Updated By: This indicates the admin user who performed the last update.
- Last Updated: This indicates the date and time when the Category Map was last updated.
- Feeds Using Map: This is a list of Feeds that currently have the map assigned.
- Mapped %: This indicates the percentage of categories that the mapping is applied to.
- Sales Last 30 Days: This indicates the sales in the last 30 days from Feeds with this Category Map assigned.
- Edit: Click this button to make changes to a previously-configured Category Map. For more details, see How To Add or Edit a Category Map.
Any Category Maps you add in this section will be added to a tab called Mappings that will become visible on the Categories edit page (CategoriesEdit.aspx). You can also edit the Mappings using that tab.
Note that an IRP Trading Terminal Intelligence Alert is generated when missing Category Maps are detected for active categories. For more information about the Insights Terminal, see IRP Trading Terminal – Our Answer to Unprofitable Ecommerce.
