BC Attribute Mapping

The BC Attribute Mapping page shows the link between Business Central item attributes and Shopware 6 property groups (Property Sets). This mapping enables automatic transfer of item properties to the shop.

Opening the Page

  • Via search: Shopware 6 BC Attribute Mapping
  • Via the Shopware 6 Setup → Navigation

Fields

All fields are read-only — mapping is done via the actions.

Field Description
BC Attribute ID ID of the Business Central item attribute.
BC Attribute Name Attribute name (e.g. "Color", "Weight"). FlowField.
BC Attr Value ID Value ID (0 = group-level mapping).
BC Value Attribute value (e.g. "Red", "2.5 kg"). FlowField.
SW6 Property ID ID of the mapped Shopware 6 property group.
SW6 Title Title of the property group in Shopware 6. FlowField.

Actions

Action Description
Sync BC Attributes Creates Shopware 6 property groups and options from BC item attributes marked for Shopware sync.
Sync from Shop Downloads all property groups and options from the shop and creates BC attribute mappings.

Concept

The mapping works bidirectionally:

BC → Shop (Push)

  1. BC item attributes are created as Shopware 6 property groups.
  2. BC attribute values are created as property options.
  3. The mapping is saved in this table.

Shop → BC (Pull)

  1. Shopware 6 property groups are downloaded.
  2. Matching BC item attributes are automatically searched.
  3. The mapping is saved in this table.

All attribute types

All BC attribute types are transferred – not just option attributes: text, integer and decimal attributes also become property groups, with every occurring value becoming an option (a Shopware option is simply a named value, e.g. “Battery: standard battery (4,680 mAh)”). The Shopware Sync flag on the BC item attribute is accordingly available for all types.

  • The type only determines the filter default: option attributes are filterable in the shop listing, text and number groups are not (changeable per group in the shop).
  • Blank attribute values are skipped – they do not create empty options in the shop.
  • When pushing from the item context (action on the item card), only the properties of that item go to the shop, not the entire attribute inventory.

Note

Group-level mapping (BC Attr Value ID = 0) means the entire BC attribute is mapped to a SW6 property group. Individual values are automatically mapped as options.
