Upload a file from your computer

The Upload from computer source is used when a supplier file arrives manually: in a messenger, from an ERP export, from a supplier portal, or as a local file prepared by your team.

This source stores the file in Eofferix and lets you use it in one or several profiles. When you upload a new file, it becomes the current working version of the source.

You can also attach a manual file while creating an interpreter profile. Eofferix will create the source and link it to that profile immediately.

Supported files

XML, YML, and other XML-like feeds.
JSON files and JSON archives when the supplier sends JSON as a file.
CSV, XLS, XLSX, and XLSM price lists.
ZIP archives when they contain a supported file.

How to create the source

Open Sources and click New source.
Select Upload from computer.
Enter a clear source name, for example Supplier A price list.
In the file retrieval block, choose a file from your computer and upload it.
After upload, check the current file card: name, size, format, and upload time.
Save the source and use it in an interpretation or import profile.

How to replace the file

Open the source card and click Upload another file. After a successful upload, the new version becomes the working one: profiles using this source will read the new file.

If structure protection is enabled, Eofferix compares the new file with the accepted structure. When columns, nodes, or nesting change significantly, the source can stop until you manually confirm the new structure.
