      • Inventory Import Stock Configuration

        The process for Upload Inventory can be performed in different ways according to user configuration set up in database

        • Delimiter. The data file is composed by columns where every column is delimited by a special character. The characters allowed as delimiters are:
          • TAB. When the file is created, the TAB character is represented in a string as “\t”.
          • COMMA. Use the character “,” to delimiter.
          • SEMICOLON. Use the character “;” as delimiter.
        • Fixed Width Field. Indicates that data file columns don’t are delimited by any character. Working with this configuration, every column must define its own length.
        • With Quotes. Indicates if the columns content is between quotes, quotes will be removed from the file. This feature can be used with Delimiter only.
        • Header. Represents the total of rows used as header in the data file to be processed. Zero (0) in case of no header. This feature can be used with Fixed Width Field only.


        Inventory Import Stock Data File Validations

        Some validations to consider in the process for Inventory Import Stocks are:

        • As performance validation, be sure that the first record is correct else the file will be processed manually.
        • If a file has less of 100 records, all valid records will be processed.
        • If the total of records is equal or greater than 100 the file will be processed automatically if the invalid rows number is less than LIMIT else the file be kept in queue waiting for operation support team process it manually; LIMIT = integerPercent * 10 where integerPercent = (int)(Total Records/100)
        • Parts will be considering as equal than others if the fields PARTNUMBER and CONDITIONCODE are the same between them.
        • An Alternate Part Number is set to null when has a white space.

        • Delimiter by Semicolon and Action Code Replacement (R).

  • FAQs

    • How do I obtain PartsBase API Credentials?

      Please reach out to your PartsBase account manager to formally request the credentials or send an Email to service@partsbase.com

    • What integration partners can I use to consume PartsBase API services?

      You can review all of our current integration partners here: Integration Partners page

    • Do authentication service tokens expire?

      Yes, when an authentication token is returned it will expire 5000 seconds after being provided.

    • When consuming the authentication service, I receive an "Invalid username or password" error, why?

      Our API credential’s username value is directly related to your PartsBase administrator user, you may have updated your password in PartsBase and not changed the password value when consuming the authentication service. Please update the password value to be the same password as your PartsBase User Admin.

    • Is there a template I can use to construct my inventory load file?

      Yes, there's a template available HERE. You can click on the shown option to download an example and use it as a template to build out your inventory load .zip file.

    • How do I choose the Inventory load type when consuming the Inventory upload service?

      The inventory load type is controlled by the set value for ACTION_CODE value found in your .DAT file.
      You can only use one action code per file upload. The available options are below:

      • • A = Adds parts to existing inventory.
      • • R = Replaces all existing inventory with the parts in the file.
      • • U = Updates the parts in the file.
      • • D = Deletes all the parts in the file.

    • What is the difference between PULL RFQs and PUSH RFQs service?

      • PULL RFQ — This service returns Seller’s RFQs based on the parameters selected.
      • PUSH RFQ — This service sends Seller’s RFQs every 3 min to the sellers API endpoint.

    • Does Pull RFQ also return Overhaul RFQs?

      Yes, on the response there will be a value for <IsOverhaul> that will indicate if the RFQ is related to Overhaul.
