9 Partner Feedback: Assortment Analysis


INTRODUCTION

The assortment analysis is a detailed evaluation of all articles supplied by the partner and thus offers. The file provides information about the status of each item accordingly. We offer the file in English only.

The file provided is in Excel format and consists of three tabs:

Howto Short introduction about the Excel file.

Report Overview with article status and number of affected records (products).

Basis Detailed list of all partner items with all possible additional information.

Depending on the partner type - merchant or supplier, different technical conflicts can occur in the data processing procedures. All these conflicts are explained below.


EXPLANATION ASSORTMENT ANALYSIS

The partner is shown at the top, as well as the date and version of the analysis. The report for the analysis runs regularly. A report should be no more than 48 hours old.

All conflicts that arise during data processing are shown. This means that all conflicts generated by an article can be seen and not just the most important conflict of the article.

The first step of the processing is the assignment. Here it is checked whether a product already exists or whether it must be newly created. Here, all minimum requirements are checked and, if positive, a product is created. At the same time, the offer data such as price and inventory are checked and the offer is attached to the product. After each update of the offer data, the data runs through the offer data check again.

 

REPORT

This tab shows an overview of all existing conflicts. The cause of the conflict can be found in the "Conflict" column. The "Is Buyable" column shows whether the affected items are buyable. The "assortmentState" column describes the import level at which the conflict arose and the "No. item" column shows the number of affected items

 

 

 

BASIS

In the Basic tab, the individual conflicts are displayed at data record level. This allows you to see exactly which data record is causing which conflict.

To do this, we recommend using the filter function to reduce the list and address individual conflicts.

 

 


PRIORITIZATION AND RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS

We are aware that it is challenging to have all offered products purchasable. Therefore, it is recommended to address the points that allow assignment to existing products first (Assignment = Not Assigned).

We provide our partners with the Feedchecker to identify the errors even before the import.
