The Bluestem Brands integration in InfiPlex Inventory & Order Management System (OMS) runs through CommerceHub and needs two Bluestem values on every SKU you sell them: the Bluestem merchant SKU number and the item description. This guide covers loading your SKUs and attaching that data so inventory and tracking files validate. The connection itself is covered in the Bluestem Integration Set-up.
Step 1: Load Your SKUs and Flag Them for Bluestem
Your SKUs must exist in InfiPlex before any Bluestem data can be attached. Add them with the OMS Product Upload and set them as Sold On Bluestem.
Turn on auto-create SKUs. Tracking files for Bluestem only send correctly when every ordered SKU exists in InfiPlex, so enable automatic SKU creation from marketplace orders. New SKUs that arrive on Bluestem orders are then added for you.
Step 2: Attach the Bluestem SKU Data
Bluestem supplies the values in the product data file you receive from them. Bluestem SKU numbers are numeric and 7 or 9 digits long, for example 1072256. A sample upload file shows the layout.
- Create a comma-delimited .csv with these columns, where
skuis your existing InfiPlex SKU:skubluestem_merchant_skubluestem_description
- Open the SKU Utilities tool, choose Set Identifying Data, and upload the file. Identifying data covers ASIN, GTIN, UPC, ISBN, barcode, and retailer fields like these; the column headers above tell InfiPlex which fields to set.
- Keep the file as your master list: add new SKUs to it and re-upload whenever your Bluestem catalog changes.
- To check any single SKU, open Tools > SKU Data and enter the SKU number.
