Quotes
- 10:53 "B2B catalogs are only imported if corresponding company present in Business Central." - Explains why Get catalogs returned nothing until companies were synchronized.

- 12:15 "So, we cannot populate it with a different prices, and the last one will be overwriting all previous things." - Design reason for blocking price sync on catalogs linked to several customers.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
