Optional. Files products into the categories defined by the category feed, for catalogs that keep that relationship in its own table.

PRODUCT-CATEGORY FEED — WHICH PRODUCT SITS WHERE SKUCATEGORY ID MUG-0111 MUG-0212 For catalogs that keep the relationship separately If your product feed already carries a category column you do not need this file.
