Open Input → Suppliers.
The list
Buttons: Import all, Suspend all, Progress, New.
The list can be sorted by arbitration order: the top supplier wins each field; with equal priority the lowest ID wins. Fields changed by a person or locked are never overwritten.
Row actions: View, Import, Suspend, Open card, Edit, Delete.
Supplier card
- Check access — checks the source is reachable with the stored credentials;
- Run now — runs an import outside the schedule;
- tabs: Runs, Mapping, Offers, Companies, Log;
- the next scheduled run is shown.
Setting up a new supplier (Edit)
- Basic data — code, name, country, currency.
- Import connection — format (XML, CSV, Excel, JSON, API) and address.
- Accounts and access — credentials (stored encrypted).
- Text cleanup — stripping stray HTML, whitespace, etc.
- Schedule and network — a cron expression in Riga time. Avoid 03:00–04:00 (daylight-saving change). Empty = no automatic import. If the previous run is still going, the next one is skipped.
- Companies — which companies get new products added automatically.
- Data file and field mapping — which source field goes where.
- Import options and Updating existing products — incl. Disappearance from feed (default safety threshold 20%: if more disappear, products aren't retired).
- Arbitration priority.
- Notes.
At the bottom: Run history (status, started, rows ok/total, errors, counters), the Run import button and Image fetching → Fetch missing.
Mappings and vocabulary
- Mappings — supplier categories → our categories. Filter unmapped only. Unmapped ones stay as a backlog.
- Supplier vocabulary — link Unmapped axes to attributes (Link, with a suggestion); Import-created values — values the import created, rarest first.
- Manufacturer and attribute-value mapping — still being built.
