Returns Data
Overview:
This is normally a replica of the orders service, with a different file
name and order numbers normally prefixed with an R, but can be tailored
or turned off to suit.
Import (to us):
Products/Items
Overview:
Schedule: Normally daily, but could be more often if
Fields: We're open to as much data for products/items as we can out of the remote system, however as a minimum we would require:
Name
SKU - Has to be unique.
Description
Price
Preferably we would also get the the following data:
Weight
Short Description
Product Images
Barcode
Tax Class (Zero Rated / Taxable Goods)
+Any product attributes, such as Size/Colour etc.
Categories
Overview:
The file would need to contain the category and product assignment
data. I have included the filed "Children" as hopefully via XML the
child categories can contain the same field set but in a child block of
the parent.
Schedule: Can be uploaded every X hours to compliment the products service?
Fields:
Category Name
Category Description
Product ID's
Children
Stock Levels
Overview:
The most frequent of services to run. The file can either contain
everything or just the stock that has changed, or everything with a
timestamp of the last change (the we can choose what to import).
Schedule: Normally multiple times per hour (every 15mins etc.) No faster than once a minute.
Fields:
Product SKU
Stock Level
Stock Location - If multiple locations, a location id of where the stock is.
Last Change Date
Order Updates
Overview:
We can automate the update of order in the Magento system when they are
dispatched from the remote system. If there is a potential for partial
or split shipments we would also need the product ids/data on a per
shipment basis.
Schedule: Normally daily, but could be real time as when the orders are updated in the remote system.
Fields:
Order Increment ID
Order ID
Courier
Courier Tracking Code
Customer Updates
Overview: This would be needed if the client wanted to
completely synchronise the customer with the data in the remote system.
We would need a file that matches the customer export file above
when/if the customer is changed/updated in the remote system.
