Here we write the e-shop link of the script that updates the availability. The #PID variable is used for the Product handle of the item and the #STO variable is for the availability.

for example: https://www.sbzsystems.com/stockupdate.php?productid=#PID&quantity=#STO

 

If we do not specify a variable, then all the availabilities sent together in the “web_availabilities.tmp” text file in the following format:
ex. https://www.sbzsystems.com/stockupdate.php?quantity=#STO

Example of downloading an EMDI file via PHP:

 

Synchronize a custom field to availability

Also the sum of the availability of the fields we have set, goes to the custom field with the “t” suffix.

 

Important

  • If the answer from the link is a blank page, it is assumed that the process failed.
  • If no custom fields are defined, then main availability is sent.
  • Products are only sent if they has been updated in some way:
    • the product was saved
    • a document with an action has been created (“None” action does not affect any product so no information is sent)
  • If the Select window does not open in sync, it’s because we have not set the pair of databases between which sync will be. We go from the DB’s/ Companies button and set up the remote database tab.
  • If the availability does not go  to the site, then check if the EMDI folder, personal \ user, creates the “web_availabilities.tmp” file. If it does not exist then you can set a previous date and sync again:
