At times, item SKUs in an e-commerce store that is connected via a DCL e-commerce connector can have a different SKU for the same item at DCL. This application allows us to create a cross-reference item record(s) from an e-commerce store SKU to a DCL SKU.


Example Use Case

A customer’s SKU in their e-commerce store is different from the SKU used at DCL for the same item. To ensure orders are fulfilled correctly, a SKU mapping needs to be established between the two systems.

This mapping allows the E-commerce SKU to be automatically translated or mapped to the corresponding DCL SKU when orders are placed.

End Date
