Category Detail

Catalogs and categories are separate entities within Scipio ERP. It is easiest to visualize catalogs as old-time mail-order catalogs, which contain categories in which all of the products are included. Just like mail-order catalogs, catalogs can have a start and expiration date and can have custom configurations, such as a custom stylesheet, which may override the visuals for as long as the catalog is active, or an individual logo. Most importantly, all catalogs act as containers for categories, however, so it is easy to switch entire category trees whenever it is desired. All webstores (online shops) should have at least one catalog assigned at all times.

Complexe Price Rule example

Prices in Scipio ERP are not always absolute amounts, but can be a combination of a base amount, taxes, promotional discounts, voucher codes and more. Fees can be configured as well. One could, for example, define a list price for a product, add a VAT tax, have a promotion which discounts 10% and then finally add a sales tax to an order.

(Web-)Stores

Webstore configuration example

(Web-)stores are the combination of a website endpoint (website) and a product store (sales channel for products). Product store and website management are both supported through the Catalog backend application. It is easiest to think of both as configurations for the underlying shop component, which contains the code to visualize everything to the online customer.
