Symptom
You want to create and upload the commodity catalog in the Intrastat work center, however you do not find the template to upload.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Intrastat work center
- Go to Commodity Classifications view and select Commodity Catalogs sub view
- Cannot find upload file for catalog
Cause
In the Commodity Catalogs view, you can either upload a commodity catalog from a catalog file or create a new commodity catalog manually. Once a catalog has been created and activated, it can be used to classify materials by selecting codes and assigning them to the corresponding materials.
It is only possible to upload catalogs from SAP partners. The system only supports the upload of .xml and .zip files. If a catalog to be uploaded exceeds 10 MB, then it must be uploaded as a .zip file. The system will then unzip the file automatically.
Resolution
I have attached the sample XML file for commodity catalog and blog also contains the sample file. Please get in touch with your partner to upload commodity catalog.

Detailed steps to create a commodity catalog;
- In the Commodity Classification view, choose the Commodity Catalogs sub view.
- To open the Upload Commodity Catalog screen, click Upload Commodity Catalog.
- Enter a unique catalog ID and catalog name.
- To search for the catalog file on your computer to upload, click Select File.
- Once you have selected a catalog file, click OK and then click Upload. When you start the upload, the system executes the upload in the background, so that you can perform other tasks in the meantime. The system will upload the catalog and return you to the Commodity Catalogs sub view. The system adds the catalog to your work list and sets the catalog file upload status to In Process. You can find the catalog in the work list by selecting either All Catalogs or Inactive Catalogs in the Show field.
- When the upload is complete, you can edit the catalog to activate it. Once the uploaded catalog has the Successful upload status, you can select the catalog from the catalogs list. To open the catalog editor to check and activate the catalog, click Edit.
- To activate this catalog, click Activate.
