Supplier integration in ChannelMAX

This page explains how to integrate a 'Supplier' account with your ChannelMAX account for repricing and inventory management.

A) As a first step, please configure your Supplier FTP credentials in ChannelMAX under 'Settings-->Dropship-->My Supplier 1-->Section 5' with 'File name to download' populated with appropriate files as supplied by the Supplier.

B) Next, under 'Settings-->Dropship-->My Supplier 1' click on 'Enable Feed' and enter the Supplier name and SKU Prefix. For example, if you use Supplier 'LiveEx' then SKU prefix should be 'LX-', for the ApparelW prefix could be 'AB-' and so on.

ChannelMAX automatically creates a folder with the same name as the supplier name and moves all the SKUs present in the supplier file to this folder. This is just for better categorization of the SKUs in ChannelMAX, it has no other impact.

All the SKUs from that supplier are bucketed into the same supplier name. You may create a new repricing model named the same as SupplierName, and then that is the default repricing model used in repricing.

C) Next, click on 'Create New Item In ChannelMAX' under option#1. Apply this change by clicking on the 'Save' button. 

Note:
For some suppliers, the file may contain a summary record at the top, and column header record may not start at record 1. In that case, we need input correct value "Header Record Posn" under 'Settings-->Dropship-->My Supplier 1' section 5.

D) For repricing, option#3 and 4 may be configured under 'Settings-->Dropship-->My Supplier 1' dynamic floor and ceiling macros for your Supplier SKUs imported from the files.

E) Option#4a should be check marked under 'Settings-->Selling Venues' for the appropriate Amazon Channel to enable quantity feed.

F) Once the above details are saved in ChannelMAX under the 'Settings-->Dropship-->My Supplier 1' page, please notify us via support ticket or email to [e-mail]. Our support team will validate your account setup and update you for any changes as needed.

G) Once all these steps are validated, our admin team will schedule FTP process on our server.

H) When these supplier files are processed, we will have an entry named 'FTPFileS1' under 'Job Process Log' with status column displayed '_DONE_'.
