- Adobe Commerce B2B
- A separately installed extension for Adobe Commerce, delivered as the Composer metapackage magento/extension-b2b, that adds company accounts, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, requisition lists, quick order, purchase orders and company credit. It is versioned on its own cycle; 1.5.3 pairs with Commerce 2.4.8 and 2.4.9.
- Company account
- The B2B entity that groups buyers from one customer organization under an administrator, with a structure of divisions and users, roles and permissions, and a company-level customer group or shared catalog assignment.
- Shared catalog
- A gated catalog with custom pricing assigned to one or more companies. Adobe's documentation states that creating one automatically creates a customer group of the same name, that there can be as many custom shared catalogs as needed, and that only one public shared catalog exists at a time.
- Customer group
- The Commerce grouping that pricing and the price index are keyed on. Adding one triggers a full price reindex, per Adobe's index management page, which is why company-per-catalog designs strain the index.
- Price index dimensions mode
- The setting, changed with indexer:set-dimensions-mode catalog_product_price, that splits the price index by none, website, customer_group or website_and_customer_group so it can be rebuilt in parallel pieces.
- Negotiable quote
- The B2B workflow in which a buyer requests a quote from the cart or a sales representative creates one, the seller applies discounts at line or quote level, and the buyer checks out on the agreed terms or lets the quote expire.
- Requisition list
- A saved list of frequently ordered products that persists after items are added to the cart. Adobe's documentation allows up to 999 per buyer account, depending on configuration.
- Company credit and Payment on Account
- An offline payment method that lets a company buy up to a credit limit set in the Commerce Admin, with an outstanding balance, available credit, a per-company option to exceed the limit, and reimbursements recorded in the company's credit history. The Adobe page describes no ERP synchronization.
- Purchase order and approval rules
- The B2B flow in which company orders are created as purchase orders, held for approval under rules such as order total or number of unique SKUs, and converted to orders once approved, with prices snapshotted at creation.
- Source item
- In Adobe's Inventory Management, the record of how much of a product a physical source holds. The ERP should write these through POST V1/inventory/source-items; Inventory Management replaced the older CatalogInventory APIs.
- Salable quantity and reservations
- The virtual quantity available to sell through a website, calculated across the sources in a stock, minus reservations that track deductions as customers add to cart and check out. Inconsistencies are listed and corrected with the inventory:reservation CLI commands.
- Async bulk API
- Adobe's endpoints at /rest/
/async/bulk/V1/... for large writes such as product imports, processed by the async.operations.all consumer and requiring RabbitMQ as the message broker. - Message consumer
- A long-running process started with queue:consumers:start that handles queued work. Adobe's B2B install page lists consumers such as sharedCatalogUpdatePrice and negotiableQuotePriceUpdate that must be running for B2B features to work.
- iPaaS
- Integration platform as a service: a third-party middleware such as Celigo, Boomi, Jitterbit, Workato or MuleSoft that holds the field mappings, retries and dead-letter queues between Commerce and the ERP outside the storefront codebase.
- Adobe App Builder
- Adobe's platform for Commerce applications that run outside the core through APIs, events and webhooks, including an integration starter kit; the out-of-process option for an ERP connector.
- SuiteTalk concurrency governance
- NetSuite's account-level limit on simultaneous web services and RESTlet requests: a base of 5 to 20 by service tier, plus 10 per SuiteCloud Plus license, per Oracle's documentation. Exceeding it is what a Magento connector sees as HTTP 429.
- PunchOut
- A procurement integration in which a buyer shops the supplier's storefront from inside a system such as Coupa, Ariba or JAGGAER, usually over cXML or OCI. Not part of Adobe Commerce B2B; delivered by providers such as TradeCentric or Greenwing or a custom endpoint.
- Standard and extended support
- Adobe's lifecycle terms: standard support runs three years from a version's general availability with quality fixes, security patches and on-call support; extended support adds a further year for some versions. 2.4.6 left standard support on 11 August 2026.
