Tips   Email catalog errors or warnings

The most common recipients of catalog error emails are the supplier or other interested parties in your company. When you email errors to the supplier, you can request that they fix the errors and send you another version of the catalog.

You can email a maximum of 2000 errors or warnings at one time.

To prevent data corruption, you should attach multi-supplier CIF catalogs in CIF format only.

Screen details

To display the Catalogs - Email Errors screen, select one or more check boxes on the Catalogs - View Errors screen and click Email Errors.

 
  1. Enter recipients email addresses in the To, CC, and Bcc fields.
  2. Review or modify the Subject field. By default, the subject field contains the type of errors in the supplier catalog, along with the catalog subscription name and version number.
  3. Review the Message field text:
    • By default, the message field will contain a summary of the number of each kind of error, the number of errors selected to be sent in the email and the severity, line number and description of each error.
    • Edit the default information and add your own comments as necessary.
  4. Choose a format to attach the supplier catalog file. Select a check box to send the catalog in CIF 3.0 or cXML 1.1. If the catalog file is a multi-supplier CIF, you cannot send it in cXML format. You do not have to attach the catalog file to send the email.
  5. To add additional errors to the email, click Add Errors.
  6. Click Send to send the email; a confirmation message will appear when the email is sent. Click Cancel to return to the previous screen without sending the email.
