What It Is

The Product Feed is the input Algure uses to update your catalog:
  • Products
  • Stock
  • Product locations
  • Product lots (when enabled)

How to Think About Each Upload

Treat every upload as a current-state snapshot, not a partial delta. Your feed should represent what is currently true in your operation for the scope you manage in Algure.

Processing Model

Feed processing is asynchronous:
1

Receive the feed

Algure receives an uploaded file or fetches it from a configured URL.
2

Parse the file

The file is parsed using supported feed format rules.
3

Validate rows

Each row is validated against required columns and field constraints.
4

Process valid rows

Valid rows are upserted into catalog and stock entities.
5

Log invalid rows

Invalid rows are skipped and recorded as import errors.

Validation Scope

Algure validates:
  • File can be parsed with supported format rules
  • Required columns and field constraints per row
  • Warehouse code exists in the organization
Rows that fail validation are skipped and logged. Valid rows continue processing.

Important Data Behavior

  • stock accepts 0 and higher, but you should only provide those products in stock
  • lot is optional and only applied where lot/batch handling is available
  • Stable identifiers are critical: code, warehouseCode, locationCode
