How to keep Fanatics Inventory EDI 846 accurate.
Here are the step you need to follow in Impress Customer Maintenance.
- When you enter the new
UPC, you set it to “INACTIVE.”
- When the 10-digit
Customer SKU is received from Fanatics (entered in Impress) AND the
valid collegiate license approved, you set he flag to “Active”.
- This step activated the
GD/SKU on their website.
- When the license expires
or we no longer can sell GD and SKU combination, you set the flag to ZERO
- This step removes the
GD/SKU from the Fanatics website selection.
- Optionally, you can set
the GD/SKU to “inactive” ONLY when:
- AFTER the inventory
update XML file updates Fanatics website with the 0 (ZERO) available
- The XML (EDI846) file
runs daily before 8 am
- It is required that we
send at least ONE zero inventory update.
- Since the file is huge
and it may be failing on the Fanatics side I would wait a week to make a
change.
- This step makes this
file smaller and easier to upload for Fanatics.
