4.3. Activating the order referrer

Go to Setup » Orders » Order referrer to activate the order referrer. This ensures that orders are assigned to the correct sales channel.

What is an order referrer?

An order referrer tags an order with the sales channel on which the order was generated. Sales channels can be e.g. your online shop or markets on which you sell your items. Each sales channel has an individual order referrer. Some order referrers are available by default in your PlentyONE system. Further order referrers are added e.g. if you install a new plugin. For further information about the order referrer, see the page Order referrer of the PlentyONE manual.

Activating the order referrer for Decathlon:

Go to Setup » Orders » Order referrer.
Click Search ().
In the list, navigate to the desired Decathlon platform, for example Decathlon Germany.
Note: You need to activate every platform where you want to list your items. In addition, you need to activate the order referrer 173.00 Decathlon.
On the right of the referrer’s line, click on Edit ().
→ The window Edit referrer opens.
Activate the option Visible in selection ().
Click on Save ().
→ The referrer is active.

5. Preparing variations

Now, prepare your variations.

5.1. Setting the variation availability

You need to activate the variations that you want to sell on Decathlon. This is done in the Availability and visibility section of a variation within the Item » Items » [Open item] » [Open variation] menu.

For one variation
Using variation group function
Using batch processing

Making a variation available for Decathlon:

Go to Item » Items » [Open item] » [Open variation].
Tip: To sell all variations of an item on Decathlon, carry out the settings for the item’s main variation. If the inheritance function is active for the variations, then this activates the availability of all variations of the item.
In the Availability and visibility section, activate the option Active.
In the Sales channels section, click Add sales channels ().
→ The window Add sales channels opens.
In the drop-down list Sales channels, select the option Decathlon.
Click Apply.
→ The sales channel is added.
Save () the settings.
→ The variation is available for Decathlon.

Use the variation group function to edit multiple variations at once. You select the variations that you want to edit.

Making several variations available for Decathlon using the variation group function:

Go to Item » Items.
Set search filters as needed and start the search.
Select () the variations to be edited.
In the toolbar, click on » Variation group function.
→ The Variation group function window opens.

Use the filters on the left to specify which variations should be processed.
Navigate to the area Market availability.
Activate the checkbox to the left of the option Decathlon.
Activate the checkbox to the right of the option Decathlon.
Navigate to the area Availability.
Activate the checkbox to the left of the option Active.
Activate the checkbox to the right of the option Active.
Click on Apply to apply the settings to the variations.

6. Exporting item data

Item data is exported to Decathlon using catalogues. Go to Data » Catalogues to create catalogues for Decathlon.

What is a catalogue?

Catalogues are used to export data from your PlentyONE system. There are two different catalogue formats:

Marketplace formats are used to export item data to markets.
Standard formats are used to export data from your PlentyONE system into a file.

Catalogues with marketplace formats allow you to tailor your item information exactly to the needs of the market. Because here, you assign a suitable PlentyONE data field to each of the data fields of the market. When your variation data is exported to the market, the market’s data fields are then filled with the correct PlentyONE data.

Is this your first time working with catalogues? Then read up on the basic concept of catalogues first.

6.1. Adding product categories

Before you can create catalogues for Decathlon, you have to add the product categories in which you want to offer your items on Decathlon. This is done in the Setup » Markets » Decathlon » Add catalogue templates menu.
After you added a product category in the Add catalogue templates menu, you can create a catalogue for this product category in the Data » Catalogues menu.

Adding product categories:

Go to Setup » Markets » Decathlon » Add catalogue templates.
Click on Add categories ().
Select a category for offering your items.
Tip: You can either search the category by entering the name in the input field or you can expand the category tree to browse the available categories.
Save () the settings.
→ The category was added. You can now create a catalogue for this category in the Data » Catalogues menu.

6.2. Linking variations to a Decathlon product category

Which variations are exported to Decathlon?

You can use catalogue filters in the menu Data » Catalogues » [Open catalogue] » Filters to define which variations should be exported to Decathlon. The filters Decathlon and Active are already set by default. This means that all variations which are active and which have the market availability for Decathlon in the Availability tab will be exported to Decathlon.
You can use the custom filters in the catalogue to define in detail which variations should be exported to Decathlon.

You can use properties to define in which product category on Decathlon a variation should be listed. For example, you can create the property Decathlon product categories of the type selection and use the Decathlon product categories as selection values. You can then use the filters in the catalogue and filter for the property to define into which product category on Decathlon the variations should be exported.

Creating a property of the type selection:

Go to Setup » Settings » Properties » Configuration.
Click on Create property.
→ The settings for the new property are displayed.
In the area Details, select the type selection.
In the area Details, select the section Items.
Carry out the additional settings.
→ Tip: For example, you can use Decathlon product category as name for the property.
Save () the settings.
→ The property is created.
In the area Selection values, click on Create selection value.
Enter a name for the selection value.
→ Tip: You can enter the different Decathlon product categories as names for the selection values, for example Trail shoes or Running shoes.
Save () the settings.
→ The selection value is created and displayed in the overview. The value automatically receives a consecutive and unique ID that cannot be changed. You need this ID to only export specific variations in a catalogue.

Next, link the desired variations with the selection property that you created.

Link variation with property:

Go to Item » Edit item » [Open item].
Click on the Variations tab.
Open the variation that should be linked.
Open the Properties tab.
In the Variation properties area, select the property you created from the Properties drop-down list and click on Add ().
→ The property is added.
Select the desired product category from the drop-down list Value.
Save () the settings.

Afterwards, add the ID of the selection value as filter in the desired Decathlon catalogue.

Tip: Open the property in the menu Setup » Settings » Properties » Configuration to see the IDs of the selection values.

Apply filters in the catalogue:

Go to Data » Catalogues.
Open the Decathlon catalogue.
On the left-hand side, open the tab Filters.
In the area Custom filters, select the filter Linked to at least one property selection value.
Enter the ID of the selection value of the property.
Tip: Open the property in the menu Setup » Settings » Properties » Configuration to see the IDs of the selection values.
Save () the settings.

6.3. Creating a catalogue

Item data is exported to Decathlon using catalogues. To export your items to Decathlon, create a catalogue in the Data » Catalogues menu. Afterwards, link the Decathlon data fields with item data saved in PlentyONE in the catalogue.
After you activate the catalogue, the catalogue data is automatically exported to Decathlon in regular intervals.

Note: There is a separate catalogue format for each Decathlon product category. Different item data is exported in the different catalogue formats, depending on which information Decathlon requires for each product category.
This means that you have to create a separate catalogue for each Decathlon product category that you want to sell your items in. Go to Setup » Markets » Decathlon » Add catalogue templates to add product categories.

Create a catalogue for offers

For Decathlon, you always have to create a catalogue for offers. To do so, select the format Offer when you create a catalogue in the Data » Catalogues menu.
The offer catalogue is required in addition to the catalogues for the different Decathlon product categories so that offers can be created on Decathlon.

Creating a catalogue:

Go to Data » Catalogues.
Click on Create catalogue ().
Enter a name for the catalogue.
In the drop-down list Marketplace, select the option Decathlon.
In the drop-down list Export type, select the option Item (new).
In the drop-down list Category, select a category of the sales channel.
Save () the settings.
→ The catalogue is created.
→ The catalogue is opened for editing.
On the left-hand side of the menu, click on Settings.
In the Basic settings, select the account that you want to use this catalogue for.
Save () the settings.

Select account and add filters

It is mandatory to select a Decathlon account in the catalogue’s Settings so that the catalogue can be exported to Decathlon.

Additionally, we recommend to set filters before you activate the catalogue. This is to ensure that your items are exported into the correct Decathlon product category. For further information, see Linking variations to a Decathlon product category.

Other catalogue settings

Other catalogue settings are optional. Once you carried out the settings described on this page, your catalogue is automatically exported to Decathlon. That means you can ignore the catalogue settings for Format settings, Export settings and Download settings.

The Format settings, Export settings, and Download settings allow you to create a file with the variation data contained in the catalogue. However, this file does not contain information about whether the data export to Decathlon was successful.

You should not change the format in the catalogue’s Format settings. To ensure that the export to the sales channel works, all required settings are already configured when you create a catalogue. If you change the settings, errors might occur during the export.

6.3.1. Deactivating offers

To deactivate an offer on Decathlon, a stock of zero is exported to Decathlon for the respective variation. Zero is exported if the variation has an active SKU for Decathlon and at least one of the following cases apply to the variation:

The variation is inactive.
The main order referrer 173.00 Decathlon is deactivated.
All subordinate Decathlon order referrers (e.g. 173.01, 173.02…) are deactivated.

This means that if you want to deactivate an offer for a variation on Decathlon, you need to do either of the following:

deactivate the variation,
or deactivate the order referrer 173.00 Decathlon,
or deactivate all subordinate Decathlon order referrers.

6.3.2. Mapping data fields in the catalogue

After you have created a catalogue, map the market’s data fields to item data saved in PlentyONE. This chapter describes how you map data fields and what particularities apply for item exports to Decathlon.

The market expects product data that cannot be saved in the PlentyONE item menu? Then create a property for this data. Link this property with your variations. The actual values are saved as property values for this property. Is this your first time working with properties? Then read up on the principles of properties first.

Simple 1:1 mapping: 1 marketplace data field, 1 PlentyONE data field

In a simple 1:1 mapping, you map a PlentyONE data field to the marketplace data field. If no suitable setting exists in PlentyONE. you can map a property instead.

As such, simple 1:1 mappings allow you to:

I want to fill this marketplace data field with the data from this PlentyONE setting.
If the data field is empty for a variation, no value is exported for this variation.

Creating a simple 1:1 mapping:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
Click on the group you need.
→ The PlentyONE data fields of the group are shown.
Click on the plus to the right of the PlentyONE data field you want to select.
→ The PlentyONE data field is added to the right.
Click on Confirm.

Example: Sales price and RRP for Otto Market

This gif shows you how to map the marketplace data fields Sales price and RRP for Otto Market to PlentyONE data fields:

Simple 1:1 mapping: with properties: 1 marketplace data field, no PlentyONE data field

Reminder: In a simple 1:1 mapping, you map a PlentyONE data field to the marketplace data field. However, what can you do if PlentyONE does not offer a suitable data field? Then it’s the properties' moment to shine. Properties allow you to save any kind of information in your properties.

Is this your first time working with properties? Then read up on the principles of properties first.

Creating a property:

Create a property with the necessary values.
Tip: Find out how to do that here.

Creating a simple 1:1 mapping with properties:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
Expand the group Property.
→ The property groups are shown.
Expand the group you need.
Click on the Plus sign on the right of the property you want.
From the drop-down list Language, select the language in which you send the data to the market.
Click on Confirm.
→ The property is mapped to the marketplace data field.

Complex 1:1 mapping: 1 marketplace data field, 1 PlentyONE data field

Like with the simple 1:1 mappings, you map a PlentyONE setting or property to a marketplace data field. Complex mappings are necessary whenever a marketplace data field has more than one possible value. Instead of mapping data fields, for complex mappings you map individual values of these data fields. For example, you cannot simply map the PlentyONE data field Shipping profile to the marketplace data field Shipping method. Why? The market cannot know which of your shipping profiles in PlentyONE corresponds to which of their shipping methods.

Do not enter own values for complex mappings. All values that you enter must be saved for the variations, either in a setting or as a property value. This also applies if the value Comparative value is shown. You still need to enter exactly the value of the setting or property that you mapped.

In complex mappings, the value of the market is always exported. Only when you map an own value, the own value that you enter is exported.

You can recognise complex mappings from the field that is shown below the name of the marketplace data field. Click on the field to show the values available for the marketplace data field.

Examples for complex 1:1 mappings are:

Categories
Brands
Shipping setting

Important: For complex mappings, do not map own values or properties of the type None.

Creating a complex 1:1:n mapping:

Click on the field for the marketplace data field.
→ A list of the available values is shown.
Select the value that you want to map a PlentyONE data field to.
→ The value is mapped.
Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the available PlentyONE data fields are listed in groups.
Click on a group.
→ The PlentyONE data fields of the group are shown.
Click on the PlentyONE data field for which you want to map values.
Important: Do not map own values or properties of the type None.
Your next steps depend on the PlentyONE data field you selected:
- Alternative 1: The available values for the PlentyONE data value are shown on the left.
  - Next to the value you want to select, click on the plus.
    → The value is added to the field on the right.
  - Click on Confirm.
- Alternative 2: The PlentyONE data field is inserted and the field Comparative value is shown.
  - In the field Comparative value, enter a value that is saved in the setting or the property of the mapped PlentyONE data field.
  - Click on Confirm.
- Alternative 3: The PlentyONE data field is inserted and a drop-down list is shown.
  - Select a value from the drop-down list.
  - Click on Confirm.
    → The value of the marketplace data field is exported, not the value of the PlentyONE data field.
    Exception: Only when you map an own value, the own value that you enter is exported.

Example: Delivery time in days for Otto Market

This gif shows you how to map suitable PlentyONE values to the values of the marketplace data fields Delivery time in days for Otto Market:

1:1 mapping with fallback data fields: 1 marketplace data field, 1 PlentyONE data field with alternative(s)

In a 1:1 mapping with one or more fallback data fields, you map a PlentyONE data field to the marketplace data field. In addition, you specify one or more fallback data fields. This ensures that the system keeps looking if the first PlentyONE data field is missing or empty.

So this mapping specifies:

I want to fill the marketplace data field with the data from the selected PlentyONE setting.
If that data field is missing or empty for a variation, the first fallback data field is checked. The value of that fallback data field is exported instead.
If the first fallback data field is also missing or empty for the variation, the second fallback data field is checked. If a value is found, the value of the second fallback data field is exported for the variation etc.

Two separate fallback conditions are available:

Null (default)

The fallback data field is used if the data field above is mapped in the catalogue but not linked to the variation.

The condition "Null" is useful when you want to map fallback data fields for the following types of PlentyONE data fields:

SKU
Barcodes
Sales prices
Properties

Important: When you add a fallback data field, the fallback condition "null" is selected automatically. To apply the fallback condition "leer", you need to change the default setting.

Empty

The fallback data field is used if the data field above is mapped in the catalogue and linked to the variation, but is empty.

The condition "Empty" is useful when you want to map fallback data fields for the following type of PlentyONE data fields:

PlentyONE data fields that are available for variations by default

Important: When you add a fallback data field, the fallback condition "null" is selected automatically. To apply the fallback condition "leer", you need to change the default setting.

Note: Even if you assign one or more fallback data fields, the value of only one of those fields is exported. For each variation, the mapped PlentyONE data fields are checked in the order in which you mapped them. This means that if the first data field does not provide a value for a variation, the first fallback data field is exported etc.

Creating a 1:1 mapping with fallback data fields:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
Click on the group you need.
→ The PlentyONE data fields of the group are shown.
Click on the plus to the right of the PlentyONE data field you want to select.
→ The PlentyONE data field is added to the right.
In the list of PlentyONE data fields, click on the plus icon next to the PlentyONE data field that you want to map.
→ The fallback data field is added with the fallback condition "null".
Alternative 1: To add the fallback data field with the fallback condition "null":
1. Click on Confirm.
  → The fallback data field is exported if the data field above is not linked to the variation.
Alternative 2: To add the fallback data field with the fallback condition "empty":
1. To the left of the fallback data field, click on the cog ().
  → The window Data column settings is shown.
2. For the setting Fallback condition, select the option Empty.
3. Click on Save.
  → The fallback data field is added with the fallback condition "empty".
4. Click on Confirm.
  → The fallback data field is exported if the data field above is empty for the variation.

Example: Fallback data field for SKU for Otto Market

This GIF shows you the mapping for the OTTO Market marketplace data field SKU. The PlentyONE data field SKU is mapped to this marketplace data field. The PlentyONE data field Variation ID is mapped as the fallback data field. The fallback condition "null" is applied automatically.

Result: The fallback data field Variation ID is exported if the data field SKU is not linked to the variation.

1:n mapping: 1 marketplace data field, several PlentyONE data fields

In a 1:n mapping, you map several PlentyONE data fields to the marketplace data field. You can link these data fields with a separator.

So this mapping specifies:

I want to combine these PlentyONE data fields during export so that the marketplace data field is filled with the data of these two or more PlentyONE settings.

Creating a 1:n mapping:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
Click on the group you need.
→ The PlentyONE data fields of the group are shown.
Click on the plus to the right of the PlentyONE data field you want to select.
→ The PlentyONE data field is added to the right.
Click on Confirm.
To the right of the mapped PlentyONE data field, click on Add data field ().
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields again are shown in groups.
Map one or several additional PlentyONE data fields to the marketplace data field as described above.
Click on Confirm.
To the very right of the row, click on Settings ().
Select a separator from the drop-down list Separator or add a custom separator.
Click on Save.
Save () the catalogue.
→ The mappings are saved.
→ During the export, the content of the PlentyONE data fields is combined and exported as one field.

Own value mapping: 1 marketplace data field, the same value for all variations

You are sure that you want to export the same value for all variations of a catalogue for a marketplace data field? Then specify an own value. This own value is then exported for all variations.

So this mapping specifies:

For this marketplace data field, I want to export the value that I entered in the field Own value for all variations of this catalogue. The value you enter is always exported. The value overwrites the market value also in complex mappings where usually the value of the market is exported. As such, make sure you enter an own value that the market accepts for this marketplace data field.

Creating an own value mapping:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
Click on the plus next to Own value at the top of the list.
→ The field for the own value is added to the view.
Enter a value into the input field.
→ This value is exported for all variations.

Example: Diameter information

You want to export diameter information for some of your variations. The diameter is saved in centimetres for all your variations. Instead of creating a property for the unit and linking this property to the variations, you can enter the own value cm.

This is an example of how you can map an own value for the diameter unit:

Mapping with mathematical calculations: 1 Marketplace data field, the PlentyONE value is recalculated using the formula during export

Mathematical calculations allow you to change numerical values automatically during the export.

This function only works for data fields that contain numerical values.
This functionality is new and not available for all catalogue formats.

So this mapping specifies:

I want the numerical value of a PlentyONE data field to be recalculated during the export. Basic arithmetic operations are available for the formulas.

Recalculating numerical values:

Next to the marketplace data field, click on + Add data field.
→ To the left, the list of available PlentyONE data fields are shown in groups.
At the very top of the list, click on the plus icon next to Formula ().
→ The data field Formula is added to the field on the right.
Click into the data field.
→ The window Modify value is shown.
Enter a numerical value or select a PlentyONE data field at the bottom right of the window to add it to the calculation ().
Tip: Use the search function. This helps you to find data fields quickly.
Optional: If the symbol is shown in the data field, select the correct assignment for the data field.
Tip: A number tells you how many assignments are necessary for the data field.
1. Click on the icon .
2. In the window shown, select the assignments from the drop-down list.
3. Save the settings.
Enter numbers and mathematical operators with the on-screen calculator or the keyboard.
Save the settings.
→ The entered formula is displayed in the overview.
→ The calculation will be carried out in the next export.

6.3.3. Recommendations for data field mappings

To help you with mapping your data fields for the catalogue, we have created a list of recommended data field mappings. Note that these mappings are recommendations only. Depending on how you manage your item data, other mappings may be more appropriate than the recommendation given here.

Need more information about the PlentyONE data fields? All data fields are described on the manual page for the standard format Item (new).

6.3.4. Notes on mapping data fields

Every market structures item data differently. As such, there are some particularities for each market when mapping data fields. This chapter contains mapping information for important data fields for Decathlon.

6.3.4.1. HTML-structured content

You are free to use HTML to structure content that is intended for use with Decathlon.

6.3.5. Providing information on manufacturer and EU-responsible person (GPSR)

The General Product Safety Regulation of the EU (GPSR) requires manufacturers and sellers to ensure the product safety of certain goods and to provide certain information for this purpose. This information includes details about the manufacturer and the responsible person in the EU, product warnings and safety information. The GPSR regulation ensures that products are safe and comply with consumer protection requirements before being placed on the market.

In this chapter, you will learn how to set product safety information and manufacturer data in PlentyONE to comply with the GPSR regulation.

If you export your items to Decathlon via catalogues, you can add the information on product safety, the manufacturer and the EU-responsible person directly via the data field mappings for items.

6.3.6. Activating the catalogue export

You have set up Decathlon in PlentyONE and created a catalogue for exporting your item data? Then start the export of your item data. To do so, activate the catalogues which should be exported to Decathlon in the Data » Catalogues menu.

→ The catalogues are listed.
Scroll to the Decathlon catalogue.
In the Active column, move the toggle button to the right ().
