How to Use Supplier Catalogs

Audience: Retailer customers 

In this article, you will find information related to the Supplier Catalog functionality within the Product Onboarding Center. The sections within this article are outlined below:

Statuses 

The products brought into the Supplier Catalog have already been validated against your taxonomy and are ready to go through the Product Review Process. When interacting with the Supplier Catalog, you are presented with quick filters at the top of the screen to easily determine where products are in the approval process.

The different listing statuses and their meanings can be found in the dropdown below. 

At a Glance
New –   All products that have not previously been reviewed and approved start off in this state.
Approved – Products that have met the quality goals of the retailer can be moved to approved, which could then move to a “List Pending” Listing Status.
Ignored – Products not appropriate for the retail program or curation goals can be set to ignored. If the product is currently listed, be sure to delist it. 
Flagged  – Products that need further internal review due to a request internally or externally. Can be moved back to approved or removed .
Update Suggested  – Products that have been approved or rejected can have new data added or changed by vendors. The changes can be discarded or allowed and approved.
Not Compliant  – Products not meeting the quality goals of the retailer can be marked as not compliant along with the reason the listing did not meet requirements.
Under Review – Products that are currently being reviewed by the retailer’s organization.

Please note: These actions are only available for the products in the Supplier Catalog. Some of the actions may be grayed out depending on the product's current status. 

Bulk Actions 

Bulk actions enable retailers to perform actions in bulk to list, delist, delete, or tag products in their catalog.
