Fill Bundle and Variant tables from children

PostedAugust 7, 2017
UpdatedJuly 28, 2023

SAWS has developed a data model for bundle and variant products that allows bundle, configurable, variant and group products to be mapped in one table.
The individual products (simple product), which are created as children of the bundle or variant header, are automatically collected in the table for complex articles.

Step 1: Preparation:

Notice: You want to trade complex articles like bundle, configurable or virtual products, please activate the SAWS Datamodel for Complex Articles (If not yet done).

The SAWS Connector classes for bundles or variants are called “Magento Bundle Head”, “Magento Variant Head”, “Shopware Variant Class”, “WordPress Complex Head” and “OXID Variant Class” according to the product type and the shop system.

 

If one of these classes (depending on the shop or product type) is assigned to a product, the table for complex articles appears.

 

Please note:

You can find a guide on the configuration for bundled products for Magento in CS PIM here: Bundle products for Magento.

You can find a guide on the configuration for configurable products for Magento in CS PIM here: Configurable products for Magento.

You can find a guide on the configuration for grouped products for Magento in CS PIM here: Grouped products for Magento.

You can find a guide on the configuration for variant products for Shopware in CS PIM here: Variant products for Shopware.

Example: Magento Bundle:

 

 

The bundle or variant head must be of the correct product type.

 

 

Step 2: Create an active job

Navigate to “Active Jobs” in your CS platform:

 

The active job dialogue will open up. Define a name for your job, set a category and for “Script” select “SAWS Fill complex article tables automatically”.

 

 

The dialogue will reload and offer all parameters available for the script:

There are 2 options available for Filter of the products. One is filtering the products by classes and stations. The other one is filtering products via favorites. Those favorites allow you to only export or transform specific products / products with specific values:

Filtering products via favorites
Favorites can be configured in the PIM Studio :
