How To add slash between seo friendly url in opencart

When i add seo friendly url on opencart like 'abcd-test' or 'abcd-test.htm' it worked. but when i added 'abcd-test/22123.htm', IT redirected to 'www.example.com/abcd-test/22123.htm' but it displayed 

The page you requested cannot be found!

I already have a website in another framework other than opencart which is doing well on google ranking. but i need to move this website on opencart and i need to make same url for most of the pages. during that process my existing website have url like "www.example.com/category-s/12234.htm

I found the answer:

In opencart To dayplay www.example.com/test-abc/12234.htm

Here we need to have category or manufacturer with seo keyword test-abc and 12234.htm in product seo url.

Url/product
Url/parent-cat/product
Url/parent/child/product

so if I am in www.example.com/test-abc, it is category page and if I am in www.example.com/test-abc/12234.htm, it means It is product page which beloigs to test-abc category.

it work me

You are not able to due to the way that OpenCart's router works. It takes the URL and delimits it on the forward slash. It then matches the key that is between the slashes to a variable value and ultimately routes based on that variable value.

For example:

http://mysight.com/one/two/three would be equivalent to something like http://mysight.com/index.php?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3.

Note: This example is not based on an OpenCart page it is merely explaining how OpenCart's router translates to raw PHP.

By including forward slashes in your SEO URL aliases OpenCart thinks that it needs to match keys that just don't exist and because it can't route to a valid page it simply redirects you to a default 404 page.
