Summary of Changes: (The purpose of this table is to keep traceability and Product team to highlight the things that were changed into the scope, based on comments or discussions)

Date Version Name Applied changes
28/09/2022 1.1 Bogomil Pavlov Statuses updated based on a comments
30/09/2022 1.2 Bogomil Pavlov Complete flow added
01/02/2023 1.3 Bogomil Pavlov Additional Details updated

The purpose of this page is to describe in details the process of creating offer to already existing product on MIRAKL.

To create offer we should use following API calls - POST OF01 (Import a file to add offers), GET OF02 (Get information and statistics about an offer import), GET OF03 (Get the error report file for an offer import)

Complete flow:

Аfter successful product creation should have Channel Item ID, which for MIRAKL integration is the SKU!

Create offer cron should pick products only with statuses:

Product status = Product created and Listing Status = Inactive and List/Update the whole item =Pending

When the offer is successfully picked for creation we will set:

Product status = Product created and Listing Status = Inactive and List/Update the whole item =Sent

When the offer is created, we set statuses:

Product status - Product Published and Listing Status - Active and List/Update the whole item =Not Needed

If there is an error during offer creation, we will set following statuses:

Product status = Product created and Listing Status = Inactive and List/Update the whole item =Error

and we need to store the relevant error in Update Item Error field

Example Response:

{
  "import_id": 2035
}

After each successfully send feed for creation we will receive the feed id from the response and need to store it in Marketplace Feeds table.

Mirakl Field Hemi Field Comment
import_id Marketplace Feed > External ID
Marketplace Feed > Account For which account is the feed generated.
Marketplace Feed > Type Hardcoded as “Offer Create“
Marketplace Feed > Submitted Date When the feed is submitted
Marketplace Feed > Sent Objects Count How many products we have pushed in the feed

Please note we will also add the feed objects which after processing need to be removed.

  • GET OF02 - Get information and statistics about an offer import

API Call: /api/offers/imports/{import}

API Docs: https://asosuk-dev.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF02

Parameter Integration Notes / Value Required
import Import identifier Yes

Using this call, we are able to check the status of the imported file.

Example Response:

{
  "date_created": "2019-04-01T15:16:31Z",
  "has_error_report": false,
  "import_id": 2035,
  "lines_in_error": 0,
  "lines_in_pending": 0,
  "lines_in_success": 1,
  "lines_read": 1,
  "mode": "NORMAL",
  "offer_deleted": 0,
  "offer_inserted": 1,
  "offer_updated": 0,
  "status": "COMPLETE"
}

OF02 call is returning the response for the actual offer import (all offers).

For example, { "message": "Not Found", "status": 404 }, this means there is no feed, no matter of the status of the feed - complete or error.

Based on the response, we will need to check if we have to continue with the error report (if "has_error_report": true or "has_transformation_error_report": true) we continue with OF03 & OF04, otherwise we treat it as success.

Success case (once the offer is created successfully)

Product status = Product Published and Listing Status = Active and List/Update the whole item =Not Needed

Error case:

Product status = Product created and Listing Status = Inactive and List/Update the whole item =Error

and we need to store the relevant error in Update Item Error field

  • GET OF03 - Get the error report file for an offer import

In order to check if there are any errors related to the products, into imported file we should use the GET OF03 API Call.

API Call: /api/offers/imports/{import}/error_report

API Docs: https://asosuk-dev.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF03

As described above, this response give us detailed report of the SKUs and the actual SKUs errors are in the “error-message“

OF02 come directly when we import the file. if OF02 is 404 we set everything on Error and then we use the the actual response reader, which is OF03 API Call.

Get all logistic classes SH31 - List all logistic classes

API Call: /api/shipping/logistic_classes

API Docs: https://asosuk-dev.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#SH31

Sample Respons

{
    "logistic_classes": [
        {
            "code": "S",
            "description": "Small items less than 1 kg and dimension less than 1 meter (L x W x H)",
            "label": "Small"
        },
        {
            "code": "M",
            "description": "Medium items between 1 and 3 kg and dimension less than 1 meter (L x W x H)",
            "label": "Medium"
        },
        {
            "code": "L",
            "description": "Large between 3 and 5 kg and dimension less than 1 meter (L x W x H)",
            "label": "Large"
        }
    ]
}

Once we get the logistic classes we need to store them in Hemi and display them as enumerations in Account ASOS > Logistic class and Product Account ASOS > Logistic class. Please note we need to push the code to MIRAKL and display the label in Hemi.

Additional Information:

For this integration we will need to make sure the protect flags are working as expected:

Protect Quantity (Stop all quantity updates) - Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect Quantity = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending - We skip the product If Protect Quantity = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We pick the product only for price update and do NOT include the quantity in the payload If Protect Quantity = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We pick the product for full update but do NOT include the quantity in the payload

Protect Price (Stop all price updates) -Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect Price = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending -We pick the product only for stock update and do NOT include the prices in the payload If Protect Price = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We skip the product If Protect Price = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We pick the product for full update but do NOT include the prices in the payload

Protect the whole item - (Stop all product updates apart from Quantity) -Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect the whole item = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending -We send the quantity only If Protect the whole item = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We skip the product If Protect the whole item = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We skip the product

Closed -will stop all the updates to the MPs apart from the end item (send 0 stock update). This flag applies for all products the ones which are created and all new products.
