We are currently building up a few OFBiz websites and I was
wondering if I had missed a feature or if we will need to build it.
We use 10 different catalogs for each of the 10 different sites we
run but in a few exceptions we are not able to sell a product into a
market place due to local laws. Is there a screen I am missing
somewhere that will show me which catalogs a single product is
active in?
The normal place to restrict where certain products can be purchased
or shipped is in the Catalog Manager Product -> Geos tab, ie like:

More generally it would be nice to be able to see all of the catalogs
a product is in and/or active in... but AFAIK this does not exist. It
is easy to see all of the categories a product is in, but manually
tracing back to the catalogs would be next to impossible for any sort
of complex setup. Such a screen could certainly be built that traces
back through nested categories and any catalogs they might be
associated with.
One way this could be simplified is to create an "allow" category for
each catalog and associate it with the catalog as a Purchase Allow,
View Allow, etc category. Then you could look and see which of these
"allow" categories a product is in and have your list of catalogs it
is in (as long as ALL catalogs have such a category associated with
them).
