Data Mapping


Data mapping is a critical process for integrating third-party channels with item systems, ensuring smooth and accurate data flow between systems.

When product SKUs, shipping services, UOM, or freight terms on third-party channels differ from those used in item systems, or when data undergoes updates or changes, you must map the original data to the corresponding values in item systems. This ensures that item OMS can:

  • Extract data from third-party channels.
  • Apply the mapped data using data mapping tables.
  • Post the correct data back to the relevant channels, maintaining data consistency across systems.

Currently, item OMS supports mapping for Products, Shipping Services, Units of Measure (UOM), and Freight Terms.
