Introduction
Onetrail Trading Partner Network connected Sellers sellers can upload their Product Data product data using three CSV formatted files:
- Generic product;
- Generic stock;
- Customer price file.
The combination of these three files enables Onetrail to generate and deliver the required output files to your customers (hereinafter called Customer or Customers) containing . These output files contain those products that you want to make available to them (your customers, where you have indicated a Customer customer specific price), as well as to correctly send changes and related product stock availability.Upload product data
To upload your product data the Trading Partner Network requires three CSV formatted files:
1. Product file
2. Stock file
3. Customer price file
Process
Onetrail requires three file types: Product file, Stock file and Customer price file.
Product file
This file contains should contain ALL products that you want to make available through the Trading Partner Network Onetrail Trading partner network to your buyerscustomers. The file is to be delivered on a daily basis as early as possible but no later than 4:00am.
Onetrail usage: Based on this file Onetrail updates thethe Onetrail Product Data Management (PDM) database that contains all products from all suppliers with a unique reference to the vendor part number.
Onetrail matches your new products with the unique vendor part number within the Onetrail PDM, applies changes or deletions and adds a unique classification based on the UNSPSC standard. Apart from this, brands are mapped to a uniform brand code. The stock information in this file is used to perform a daily update of the stock position within the Onetrail PDM. This will consequently be updated with the (hourly) Generic Stock generic stock file.
Remarks:
All price information in this file is ignored;
Empty fields are not allowed;
A full file is expected every time.
Stock file
This file contains should contain ALL products with accurate stock availability that you want to make available through Onetrail TPN™ to your Customerscustomers. This file is to be delivered on an hourly basis.
Onetrail usage: Onetrail processes this file to update stock availability for your products in Onetrail TPN™ PDM. Onetrail generates an output of stock information to the (ERP) system of the Customercustomer. This information is used as an indication when selling/buying products.
Remarks:
Stock files are processed on an hourly basis if possible.Apart from the (hourly) stock updates Onetrail allows customers to perform a Real real time Price price and Availability availability check from within their (ERP) system which results in a real-time request to your environment (if available). It is common practice for Onetrail TPN™ connected Customers customers to perform such checks before sending a purchase order so errors can be avoided;
- Stock files may be processed on an hourly basis if possible.
Customer
Priceprice file
Onetrail expects a separate Customer Price customer price file per Customer customer you wish to trade with through Onetrail TPN™the Trading Partner Network. This file is to be delivered on a daily basis as early as possible but no later than 4:00am.
This file should contain the products with their net prices to be made available to a specific specific customer.
Onetrail usage: Onetrail processes this file, combines it with the product data available within PDM data, and delivers the output to the Customer’s customer’s (ERP) system.
Customer files may contain only the changes or be send as a full file with prices only for those products available to the specific Customercustomer.
Products without a price (empty price field) will not be delivered to the Customercustomer, a “0” (zero) price is regarded an actual amount.
Remarks:
For support and demo purposes Onetrail requires one additional Customers customers file for Onetrail itself (Onetrail account). This file normally contains all products with default prices (i.e. highest price).
Delivery Schedule
Please set up a schedule and inform Onetrail when your files will be delivered to the Onetrail FTP server. Below you will find examples of the schedules Onetrail requires.
Keep in mind that Onetrail needs to process and subsequently deliver the files to the Customers customers system before start of business (8:00am). Therefore Onetrail requires the files no later than 4:00am.

Additional info:
Price – "Currency" field: The Currency field is not necessarily mandatory if Currency is well communicated by the Seller. For example, if the Currency is Euro only,
Onetrail can set Euro as a default value.Product and Price – "Status" field: In most cases Onetrail determines the status.
The status needs to be delivered when Sellers also deliver mutation files to Onetrail TPN™.Product File – "VAT" field: The VAT field is necessarily mandatory if VAT is i.e. always HIGH,

Format
The format for the three files is Comma Separated Values. Onetrail's definition of CSV: Each record is put on 1 line with a CR/LF or LF as line separator. Each field is separated by a separator. This separator cannot be used inside the data, Therefor Onetrail suggests to use "|" as a separator.
Communication
All files can be stored on the Onetrail FTP server. To enable connectivity to the Onetrail FTP server, Onetrail requires your external “STATIC” IP address. Onetrail will provide you the necessary login settings.
