Prior to triggering the catalog upload process, the vendor or Catalog Administrator should review the Microsoft Excel catalog file content to ensure that the upload process is successful.
Verify that the Unit of Measure associated with the catalog items matches a record on the UOM table in Advantage Financial.
If the catalog item specifies a “Picture File Name” and/or a “Thumbnail File Name” file for the line-level catalog item then verify that the picture file names associated with the catalog line are within the .zip file and are of a format supported by Advantage (that is, JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formats).
Verify the Vendor Customer Code in the first cell of the Microsoft Excel catalog file is a valid, active Vendor Customer (VCUST) record.
Verify the Microsoft Excel catalog file format, number of columns, column names and specified order of the columns are correct. Refer to the “Review and Prepare the Catalog File” section for more details.
Once the Microsoft Excel catalog review is completed the catalog file is ready to be uploaded via the Catalog Upload tab in VSS or the Transform Catalog page in Financial.
