Master Data

This section describes the master data you prepare and maintain for stable BE-Commerce operations.

Purpose and Value

Master data is the basis for clean imports, correct releases, and a consistent transfer to the webshop. If this data is incomplete or inconsistent, follow-up processes will fail or require manual correction.

What you maintain in this area

• Webshop channels with their languages, countries, and core parameters.
• channel-related setup values through the assisted setup flow.
• categories, attributes, and other mappings required for the data handover.
• changes that must remain traceable through the change log.

Recommended sequence for new users

1. Start with Assisted Setup if you want to create a new channel step by step.
2. Then move to the Webshop Channel Card to understand the full configuration and later adjustments.
3. Use the Change Log whenever you need to understand which data changes are handed over to the shop.

Best Practices

• Maintain master data first in an aligned test channel.
• Review language and country mappings together with posting groups.
• Document which fields are mandatory per channel.
