About the External Product Table

The external product table (S_PROD_EXT) is used for syndicated data from content providers, and for any additional data the administrator chooses to enter about competitive or complementary products. Check with your content provider for information on the product identifiers they use. For more information on loading syndicated data, see Importing Data into Life Sciences.

Products entered in the external product table can also be entered in the internal product table. However, for any product that is entered in both tables, make sure that the product name and other product identifiers match exactly in both tables.

For more information on entering products in the external product table, see Defining External Products.
