Manufacturers Export

The action hands your manufacturers out to the ERP system. It is needed wherever the articles in CAO-Faktura are meant to carry their manufacturer while the manufacturer list itself originates in TRADElube, for instance because it arrives with the products from a shop.

What gets transferred

What is handed out is every manufacturer of the client, alphabetically by name. Unlike with the categories, there is no subset here: no setting narrows the selection down.

On the first call the whole list goes out, after that only what is new, has changed or did not get through last time. A manufacturer deleted in TRADElube is reported as a deletion. When something counts as changed is under tasks.

How the transfer plan is built

The plan sits in the channel, in the Transfer Plans section under Manufacturers and there in the Export tab. It has two sections.

Section What sits in it
Common The identifier for the ERP system, Name as a mandatory assignment and the two timestamps Added Date and Modified Date
Descriptions Manufacturer URL, so the address of the manufacturer's site, per language of your client

Which languages the second section carries is decided by the Languages tab in the channel's Mappings section: a tab exists only for a language that faces a language identifier of the ERP system there.

Special features and limits

Three rows of the plan cannot be filled: Image URL in the first section, Count Url Clicks and Date Of Last Click in the second. They are there because the ERP system knows these fields. TRADElube keeps no click count and hands out no manufacturer image.
