This guide explains how to set up and maintain supplier mapping rules in Norce Commerce, which is essential for proper product retail integration with suppliers.
- Configure suppliers and business rules for supplier data
- Import initial products into supplier catalogs
- Ensure suppliers are configured in the system and the correct business rules are set up.
- Import and initial full or at least a representative feed of supplier products (for the suppliers you want to map)
- Navigate to Suppliers -> Supplier Mapping in Admin
- Select a supplier from the list
- Choose either Category mapping or Manufacturer mapping
- Review the list of unmapped categories
- Select an unmapped category
- Map it to the appropriate category in your category tree
- Repeat for all relevant unmapped categories
- Review the list of unmapped manufacturers
- Select an unmapped manufacturer
- Map it to the correct manufacturer in your system
- For unwanted manufacturers, mark them as "ignore"
- Configure auto-mapping rules to automatically map categories and manufacturers during import
- Set up automation rules for supplier articles (see below)
- Mapping is an ongoing maintenance task, not a one-time setup
- New unmapped categories and manufacturers may appear as suppliers update their catalogs
- The latest import from a supplier matters for the unmapped display. Older categories or manufacturers are not shown.
- Not all categories or manufacturers need to be mapped if certain product segments are not relevant
