Remarks
An inventory catalog is used to store inventory information for the products and variants in the catalog system. One inventory catalog can contain inventory information for one or more product catalogs (base catalogs and virtual catalogs) but one product catalog can be associated with one inventory catalog only. The inventory catalogs can also store inventory information for products which do not belong to product catalogs in the catalog system.
Inventory catalogs are one of two types; the default inventory catalog which is always present, and custom inventory catalogs, which are added by users.
This class provides SKU data and mapping container for a custom inventory catalog. One InventoryCatalog may contain one or more product catalogs.
Examples
public bool CreateAndDeleteInventoryCatalog()
{
bool result = true;
InventoryCatalog inventoryCatalog = null;
string inventoryCatalogName = "My Inventory Catalog";
string description = "Testing create inventory catalog";
try
{
//Creating the inventory catalog
inventoryCatalog = helper.InventoryContext.CreateInventoryCatalog(inventoryCatalogName, description);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Unexpected exception occured when creating an inventory catalog", e.Message);
throw e;
}
//Get the created inventoryCatalog
inventoryCatalog = helper.InventoryContext.GetInventoryCatalog(inventoryCatalogName);
//Deleting the inventory
helper.InventoryContext.DeleteInventoryCatalog(inventoryCatalogName);
return result;
}
