BestBuy Offer zero stock update

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)

The purpose of this page is to describe in details the process of sending zero stock updates on MIRAKL.

We are able to send updates to an offer using the call for creating an offer (OF01), but we need to specify the value in update_delete field to be equal to “update“ ( "update_delete": "update") and to send quantity=0;

• POST OF01 - Import a file to add offers API Call: /api/offers/imports

  API Docs: https://help.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF01

In order to send zero stock updated we should push only mandatory fields as per below mapping:

Mapping is the same as Offer stock update

In order to send 0 stocks, in Hemi the statuses and the triggers would be:

We pick the offer for zero stock when we have:

Product status=Product Published ; End Item= Pending

If we send the offer for update successfully we set: Product status=Product Published ; Listing Status= Active/Inactive; End Item= Sent

After successful update we will have:

Product status=Product Published ; Listing Status= Inactive; End Item= Not Needed

If error, we will have following:

Product status=Product Published ; Listing Status= Active/Inactive; End Item= Error

The error need to be stored into the particular End item error field.

Note: End item=Yes will trigger the update!

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.

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://help.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF02

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

Example Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<import>
    <date_created>2019-04-01T15:16:31Z</date_created>
    <error_report>false</error_report>
    <import_id>2035</import_id>
    <lines_in_error>0</lines_in_error>
    <lines_in_pending>0</lines_in_pending>
    <lines_in_success>1</lines_in_success>
    <lines_read>1</lines_read>
    <mode>NORMAL</mode>
    <offer_deleted>0</offer_deleted>
    <offer_inserted>1</offer_inserted>
    <offer_updated>0</offer_updated>
    <status>COMPLETE</status>
</import>

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

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

Success case:

Product status=Product Published ; Listing Status= Inactive; End Item= Not Needed

Error case: If "error_report": true this means there is an error and we need to reach each of the reports in order to check for which item and what is the error.

Product status = Product created and Listing Status = Inactive and End Item = Error

and we need to store the relevant error in Product Account > End Item Error

• 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
