    Hi All

    Just want to add something to the last post, you can also add the root node you just need to copy the name of the root node in the parent node.

    Hi Nour,

    You can use DIXF as well to import product categories.

    Use Category DIXF entity. Before you import, create product category hierarchy and parent node manually.

    In this example; I created hierarchy called RahCat and parent node as ALL.

    Note; you can skip parent node and system will create it for you...play with combinations.

    Sample file for Category entity will look like this.

    CategoryHierarchy|Name|Code|ParentName
    RahCat|Miscellaneous|MISC|All
    RahCat|Tool & Equipment|T&E|All
    RahCat|Paint & Body Equipment|PBE|All
    RahCat|Material Fabrication|MF&F|All
    RahCat|Rust Solutions|RS|Paint & Body Equipment
    RahCat|Painting Equipment|PE|Paint & Body Equipment
    RahCat|Auto Body Repair|BF|Paint & Body Equipment
    RahCat|Paints & Coatings|PA|Paint & Body Equipment
    RahCat|PowderCoat|HC|Paint & Body Equipment
    RahCat|Buffing & Metal Finishing|BU|Material Fabrication
    RahCat|BF Accessories|BF0|Buffing & Metal Finishing

    Open Product information management / Setup / Categories / Category hierarchies

    Select a Category hierarchy and click "Categories from file".
