Overview

Warning

If your buying group is providing product category's to you via a data feed.  You should not merge from the category that is provided by the buying group.  You should only ever merge from categories that you have created manually eg the store products category's.  If you do merge from a category created from your buying group. This will fight against the data feed coming from the buying group.  In which case we cannot be sure as to what results you will get.  The data feed from the buying group might put the category back, might move products back into that category and may have problems syncing products and categories to your website.

You don't want any product categories for stocked stock products that do not have a webid. The way to fix this issue is to merge the store product categories into your standard web categories. Always remembering remember to keep the product category with the duct Web category WebID filled in.
