The description of the fields are separated into:
- Data for matching / fields relevant for product classification
- Price and stock fields
- Optional fields
IMPORTANT NOTES
Even though many of the matching and optional fields are not essential prerequisites for the listing, we would like to suggest that you fill in as many fields as possible in order to noticeably increase the quality of your ITscope listing.
Please keep in mind that many merchants import the data into their ERP systems and online shops. If your products are not correctly assigned and displayed, they will not be taken into account for exports.
The quantity and particularly the quality of the data you send to us is decisive for:
- Fast integration of your price list
- Better discoverability of your products
- Better matching of your products to our catalogue and categories
- More customers that can be won over for your products
- More customers that integrate you into their ERPs or online shops as a supplier

Price and stock data
| Column heading | Specification/description | Example | Result |
| * Net price | The price you’re listing the product for on ITscope. Also referred to as the Wholesale Selling Price (WSP). Even if no general price is to be shown to users, a reference price must be provided to allow product classification! Please note: The price must be in Euro (€) No currency symbols in the cell Products with obvious dummy prices will not be listed (e.g. 123456, 999999) ‘Prices on request’: if you want the price of a product to only be available on request, then the price for this item must be set to 0 (zero) | 74.97 |  |
| * Stock | Only your own stock of inventory! Important: the stock has to be provided as an integer without any delimiters. e.g. 1159 (instead of 1,159) The stock can be limited to a threshold value (10+, 50+, …). Just send us a mail. Important: A stock < 10 has to be displayed correctly (e.g. 1+ not possible) | 67 |  |
| Pre-supplier delivery date | Products that have been ordered from the pre-supplier (‘items in transit’) have to be tagged with a delivery date, i.e. the date the products are available to be shipped from your own inventory. Preferably, this is given in combination with the ordered quantity (see ‘Pre-supplier ordered quantity’) deducting already sold items. This date may not be in the past and may be max. three months in the future. Otherwise, the availability status may be displayed as ‘delivery date unknown’ or ‘not available’ | 13-06-2016 |  |
| Pre-supplier ordered quantity | Quantity of products ordered from the pre-supplier | 100 |  |
| External stock | Stock available from an external warehouse (exclusive access) / from the pre-supplier | 76 50+ 1+ |  |
| Field warehouse delivery time | Products that will be delivered from a field warehouse or external inventory have to be tagged with the expected delivery time per item | 2-3 days x days |  |
| Order-related | Item will be ordered or manufactured on request? | yes/no 1/0 | |
| RRP | Recommended retail price | 149.90 |  |
| Order unit | Unit in which the product can be ordered; only multiples of this given unit can be ordered. The price always refers to this unit (or parts or multiples thereof). Example: a crate of bottled water with 6 bottles. In this case, the order unit would be ‘crate’, the content unit/unit of the product would be ‘bottle’ and the packaging quantity would be ‘6’. If sales/packaging quantities are used, then at least the order unit and price quantity must be specified. If only the packaging quantity and content unit are available, then these should be provided as the order unit and price quantity. Ideally this field is provided in UN/CEFACT units, but it is also possible to assign your own units. (BMEcat: ORDER_UNIT) | PA | |
| Price quantity | A multiple or fraction of the order unit, which indicates the quantity to which all quoted prices refer. If this field is not specified, the default value of ‘1’ is assumed. The price therefore refers to exactly one order unit. Another example: price quantity = 10 (i.e. the specified price refers to 10 boxes) [BMEcat: PRICE_QUANTITY] | 1 | |
| Content unit | Unit of the product within an order unit. Ideally this field is provided in UN/CEFACT units, but it is also possible to assign your own units. (BMEcat: CONTENT_UNIT) | C62 | |
| Packaging quantity | Number of content units per order unit of the product. (BMEcat: NO_CU_PER_OU) | 10 | |
| Minimum order quantity | Minimum number of order units that must be ordered; if not specified, the default value of ‘1’ is assumed. Example: 5 (i.e. 5 boxes). This field should be set according to the first scaled price step. In other words, if the minimum order quantity is greater than 1, then the first scaled price step should also start at the specified minimum order quantity. (BMEcat: QUANTITY_MIN) | 5 | |
| Quantity interval | Number indicating the scale quantity interval in which the product can be ordered. This always starts with the minimum order quantity specified (see above). The unit for the quantity scale is the order unit. (BMEcat: QUANTITY_INTERVAL) | 5 |
