Catalog item retrieval

Catalog item retrieval via ITscope exports
When importing items via ITscope exports, you need to create the exports in the ITscope portal and reference the export ID in Business Central (How do I create an export in ITscope? ).
Each export is automatically assigned an export ID in the ITscope portal.

For each ITscope export you want to import into Business Central, a corresponding ITscope job must be created in Business Central. Please select “Product Export” as job type and enter the export ID in the “Article Request Filter” group.

The call-up can be started via the “Execute” call. Alternatively, a job queue item can be created for later execution. The execution can also be set up recurrently here.

Direct catalog item retrieval
Direct article retrieval is currently still in the beta phase.
With direct article retrieval, all settings can be made directly in Business Central.
Please select “Product (Beta)” as the job type and set the filters for retrieval in the “Article Request Filter”

Please note that only filters can be applied to data existing in Business Central. This means that the manufacturers, suppliers and product categories must be retrieved beforehand.


Update catalog items individually
Catalog items can also be updated individually. To do this, call up the “Update catalog item” function via the catalog item card. The job via which the article was last updated is used for updating.
