Product Modeling Approaches
SAP Commerce Cloud helps customers select the exact variation of a product to purchase by modeling product variance in four ways.
- Classification: The Classification system allows product attribute sets to be altered frequently or dynamically at runtime. We talk about this in more detail in lesson 3.
- Basic Product Variants: Basic product variants allow you to model products that differ only in some aspects from another product, but share the same base and most product attributes. For example, T-Shirts of various colors and sizes. This method is ideal for catalogs where the attribute sets of modeled products rarely change. We cover this in depth in lesson 5.
- Multidimensional Product Variants: For more complicated situations requiring greater flexibility in defining those differing attributes, we offer Multidimensional Product Variants. The details are thoroughly discussed in lesson 5.
- Configurable Products: Configurable products are unique in that they require user input to finalize the details of the product to be purchased. Configurable products are not covered in this learning journey.
