Export Templates for IM DataSource

Catalog Request Item

The CR_CatalogueRequest Item export template outputs a "Catalog request" GDSN message containing items. Depending on the configuration, you can transfer new or modified trade item information with all detailed data maintained.

More information about provided data fields can be found in chapter "GDSN field list".

Allowed values: ADD, MODIFY

Note: The operation (ADD or MODIFY) specified in the GDSN message is a parameter of the export template. You have to ensure the correct value for that parameter, otherwise the pool will send an error response.

Catalog Request Link Add

The 1CR_CatalogueRequest Link ADD export template outputs all packaging hierarchy information that has not been sent to the GDSN pool yet.

Technically, new item references of the "Next lower level" type are exported. The following rules apply:

  • The referencing item (the parent item) and the referenced item (the child item) have been successfully sent at least once to the pool

  • The link between the two items does not exist in the pool

Note: The export of item reference information has to analyse existing publication status data of according items. The publication status of items will be updated as a result of the response messages sent from the GDSN pool. That is why it may take a while until a new reference for a new item will be picked up by a "Link ADD" export.

Catalog Request Link Delete

The CR_CatalogueRequest Link DELETE export template outputs all deleted packaging hierarchy information that has been sent to the GDSN pool before.

Technically, deleted item references of the "Next lower level" type are exported. The following rules apply:

  • The referencing item (the parent item) and the referenced item (the child item) have been successfully sent at least once to the pool

  • The link between the two items exists in the pool

  • The link between the two items has been deleted

Catalog Request Publication

The 1Sync CatalogueRequest Publication CR_CatalogueRequest Publication export template creates a "Catalog request" GDSN message containing publications for all given items. Depending on the publication status, you can add or delete publications. Furthermore, the message can be sent for a market group or for all GLNs an item is assigned to.You can find more information in the chapter "Publication".

A publication will be sent if the items to publish follow these conditions:

  • The configured target market in the export format template corresponds to the target market of the item in "Target market specific GDSN data"

  • If you publish to a GLN, then the field "Trade partner" must be filled with the according customer

  • If you want to publish to a market group you have to add the market group to the field "Context" and leave the field "Trade partner" blank

Note: Either the field context has to be filled with the market group or at least one "Trade partner" entry has to exist for each exported item. Otherwise an invalid XML file will be created and the export will be canceled.

As alternative you can use the CR_CatalogueRequest Publication_ByVariables export template export template in order to configure all the parameters manually.

Catalog Request Publication Withdrawal

The CR_CatalogueRequest Publication HW export template is used to withdraw a published hierarchy from the pool. It can be specified to unpublish the article from the market group or the GLN.

Afterwards the hierarchy can be changed and republished again. This has to be done with the Catalog Request Publication template.
