Article

An Article in the ECommerce implementation is a product listed in the webshop. It is the core item that customers browse and add to their shopping cart. Articles carry identifying information such as name, short description, EAN code, product group membership, and unit of measurement. In the webshop context, articles are further enriched with pricing data through PriceLists and PriceListPos entries, and can be grouped via variants (PGVariant) to represent product families with different sizes or grades.

The ECommerce converter adapts the article master data from the underlying F4M item record to the fields relevant for the online channel — omitting logistics-heavy fields like stock codes or agricultural harvest references that are not relevant to the buyer-facing product catalog.
