On this page we explain how you upload and manage your product data with the Product Manager so that it becomes available to your buyers via the Trading Partner Network.
You can use your own product data file, as explained below, or go to the instructions on how to use the Onetrail template.
Step 1: Create product data file
All product data you want to make available to your customers must be presented in an Excel or CSV file.
Product data file guidelines
The maximum amount of products in the file may not exceed 20.000 items.
We apply a maximum file size. Please make sure your file size does not exceed the 6 MB.
We only support the file formats Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv)
When you are using a CSV file your file needs to have an exclusive separator. For example, you use a comma as a separator, then you can’t use comma’s in your product descriptions.
Your file must contain at least the following mandatory fields and each column comes with specific restriction and requirements for the data being added:
Mandatory / Optional | Column header | Required data | Example notation | Additional information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mandatory | SKU | Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) to identify a product. Selling-parties can use SKU numbers in their ERP-system to identify products. This is most often the unique number your customers are using on their purchase orders. The SKU you provide must be unique for you as a Seller. Duplicate SKU records will be ignored or lead to import failure. | ||
Mandatory | MFPN | Manufacturer Part Number. The original part number provided by the manufacturer of a product. The part number you provide should be the original Manufacturer Part Number without any changes or additions. The Manufacturer Part Number you provide must be unique and should have at least 4 positions. | ||
Mandatory | Short Description | Short Description of the product, max. 35 characters. | ||
Mandatory | Long Description | Long Description of the product, max. 255 characters. | ||
Mandatory | Brand | Brand name assigned to the product by the Manufacturer of the product | ||
Mandatory | Classification | Product group name or a classification code | ||

Mandatory | Price | Net Purchase Price, excl. VAT. The decimal separator is detected automatically. | ||
Mandatory | Stock | Stock position. Real stock or Boolean numeric values are allowed. | 152 as real value Boolean: 1(=stock), 0(=no stock) |
A full overview on all mandatory and optional product data fields can be found in the Product Manager - Product data file guidelines.
Pre check for your
ownproduct data file
If you are having doubts about the correctness of your own product data file and the ability of your IT-system to deliver the right data, you can choose to do a pre check.
With this pre check our customer care department will check your file and deliver you a report with the outcome and advice on how to solve any emerged mismatches. Based on this report you will be able to assess whether you meet the criteria to setup this connection.
For this pre check advice, you will be charged € 280,00. Please contact customer care at support@onetrail.com for inquiries.
