Data Exchange and Mapping

Item Data from Yellow Dog 

Solum pulls item data from Yellow Dog’s Fetch API Items endpoint every 10 minutes. 

The items must be 

  1. available to one of the YD Stores configured for this integration 

  2. have an Item Description in YD

  3. have a SKU in YD

NOTE: 

  1. There are no known requirements or limitations for the Description or SKU.

  2. Interface Codes are not used in this integration.

Customers can configure Solum software to map any item properties available in YD's Fetch API to properties in Solum to be used on shelf label layouts. They can name the properties as they want to in Solum, so specific field mappings are not provided in this documentation


Additional Information

Limitations

  • When reading item data from a YD store into the AIMS database, any items removed from the YD store are not removed from the AIMS database. 

    • It is possible to manually select a group of items in the AIMS database for deletion.
