Matching Interface

Background

The goal of the RSIN matching UI is the deduplication of the entire catalog across all countries. It is used primarily for cleaning up existing products. The matching interface allows the repetitive, tedious tasks of matching products through human interaction to be outsourced.

  1. This feature can only be used if the RSIN Provider feature is enabled.
  2. On request, it is possible to match products across countries or even Ventures.

Workflow

  • As a quality control agent, I want to match similar products across countries manually
  • As a quality control agent, I want to match similar products across countries in bulk

Bulk matching

Bulk matching is used, when multiple products should be updated with a new RSIN-number and the new RSIN is already known. That way the quality control agent saves time, if the matching can be done for multiple product at a time instead of matching them individually.

Step Description Screenshot
File preparation  create a CSV-file, which contains the following fields:

  • country: short code of the country, e.g. MX
  • ShopSKU: SKU provided by the Shop System to idendify the product
  • OldRsin: old RSIN value, which was generated for the product
  • NewRsin: new RSIN value, to which the product should be matched.
File selection

Once the file is prepared save it and select it.

Already when the file is uploaded, some validation takes place, e.g.:

  • correct header used
File upload
  • After the user clicks on “upload” the file gets immediately processed.
  • Issues / errors are displayed on the page after the file was successfully processed.
