Extending Product Category

[wwojtas]

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to add field to a Product Category that I can later use in absl script?
While selecting Business Object for xbo I cannot find namespace AP/FO/Product/Global that include Product Category. I can do that using Adaptation in UI, but later on I cannot use that field in ProductCategoryHierarchy object. I understand that I can retrieve it using web service in absl, but is there a more easy going and elegant way of doing it?

I've seen that there already was similar question to that in 2016
https://answers.sap.com/questions/12282600/extend-product-category-via-pdi.html
It ended up with raising an incident, but I don't see that anything has changed.

Thank You!

Hello Waldemar,

You cannot find the BO "ProductCategoryHierarchy" is because the namespace " http://sap.com/xi/AP/FO/Product/Global " is restricted as a whole for the extension. Even though in repository explorer it shows as Released for Write access when you click on ProductCategoryHierarchy, if you expand and double click on Root node, you can see that the Node Extensible and Public Write Access is set as No.

Unfortunately currently no plans to enhance or enable the product category with respect to extensibility or extension BOs. Hence you can visit SAP Customer Influence and create a new idea or vote for an already existing idea for the same:

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
