🚀 New Feature Request: Import Shopify Product Taxonomy into ERPNext

Description
We need to import the complete set of product categories, attributes, and values from our maintained [product-taxonomy repository](https://github.com/BUDEGlobalEnterprise/product-taxonomy) into the BUDE Global ERPNext Webshop. This will standardize product classification and improve search, filtering, and reporting capabilities.

Why This Is Needed

• Ensures consistency across all product listings.
• Provides a comprehensive set of predefined categories and attributes for faster onboarding of new items.
• Reduces manual setup effort and avoids misclassification.
• Supports scalability as our Webshop expands to cover multiple domains.

Acceptance Criteria

• All Item Groups, Categories, and Types from the taxonomy repo are available in ERPNext.
• Attribute sets (e.g., color, size, material) are imported and linked to relevant categories.
• Values for attributes (e.g., “Red”, “Blue” for color; “Small”, “Medium”, “Large” for size) are fully populated.
• Import should be reproducible (script or migration utility preferred).
• Documentation provided on how to re-run the import if taxonomy updates occur.

Suggested Approach

1. Parse the product-taxonomy JSON/CSV from the [repo](https://github.com/BUDEGlobalEnterprise/product-taxonomy).

2. Create ERPNext data import templates for:

   • Item Group
   • Item Category
   • Item Attribute
   • Item Attribute Value

3. Write a migration script (Python/ERPNext Patch) or a one-time Data Import Tool configuration.

4. Verify hierarchy structure is preserved (parent/child groups).
