The list of vendors that send stock feeds in a supported format changes regularly. Please contact Happen Support (support@happen.biz) to check if your vendor is supported.

 

How Do I Get My Vendor to Send Feeds?

This is a conversation you will have to initiate with your vendor. When talking with your vendor, the following is a list of things to consider:

Your vendor will need to send the stock feed via email.

The preferred format for the feed is .xml. Using .xml as the feed format is more flexible in terms of optional fields such as stock on hand quantities for multiple warehouses etc. If your vendor can send the feed in the .xml structure supported by Jim2, all you will need to do is set up the processing using the Jim2 Configuration Manager. The .xml schema for the .xml structure is available from Happen Business for the technically minded and/or those creating a stock feed. Contact support@happen.biz for more information.

If the vendor already has an .xml structure, and won't send a feed in the Jim2 structure, Happen Business can implement a transformation (or mapping) between the vendor's .xml structure and the Jim2 structure. Contact Happen Business for any costs and time involved. Once this transformation is delivered, you select it when setting up the stock feed for the vendor.

Jim2 also supports stock feeds in .csv format. If the vendor can send the feed in the Generic CSV format, you simply set up the feed using the Jim2 Configuration Manager.

If the vendor will send a .csv format stock feed that is different from the Jim2 generic format, a mapping must be implemented. Contact Happen Business for any costs and time involved. Once the mapping is delivered, you select this mapping when setting up the stock feed for the vendor.
