How to change the vendor catalog and to the vendor catalog template generator (XSD)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 218

Hi,

AX 2012 R3 environment.

This is related to Vendor Catalog.(Procurement and 
sourcing/Common/Catalogs/Vendor catalogs/Related information/Generate 
catalog template) - Application Integration Framework (Inbound).

I want to add some more fields to the existing XSD file template and then I have 
to generate the CMR template file.

So how can I change the vendor catalog and to the vendor catalog template 
generator (the functionality that generates the XSD file for the import, see 
Procurement and sourcing/Common/Catalogs/Vendor catalogs/Related 
information/Generate catalog template)

My main goal from this change is to add some more fields to the vendor catalog 
and to the vendor catalog template generator, so that I should be able to import 
the new fields along with the existing (standard) vendor catalog fields and along 
with that while importing also I have to some more validations and my 
customized code, then the records have to be inserted/updated into AX.

What is the exact path to change or add or remove the fields in the existing XSD 
file and accordingly XML file. I tried to generate the XML file from XSD using 
Visual Studio, but i am getting the error as XXX namespace was not resolved.

    I did see this one in AX2012 RTM. Vendor catalog is doing the following steps: you get a xlm from your vendor it is read and changed to a standard xml which is stored in one of the folders that are created when activating vendor for vendor catalog. Then this second xml is read and stored in staging tables so you could edit before releasing the products.

    To add 1 field you need to alter 2 services (XML is read by a service) and 2 tables, and of course all code in between.

    Hi,

    Thank you for replying.

    Since I'm very much new to AIF.

    Could you please let me know more details on how to add new and existing fields to the service (XSD and XML) and further I need to write logic to some more validation while importing.
