JoJo Maman Bébé
Direct Dispatch Supplier Onboarding
Generic FileSystem - XML
Prepared by Anna Britton (Professional Services Specialist)
& Cobi Martin (Training and Documentation Coordinator)
Welcome to the Platform
We can set up a location for these files through our Architects team if you do not have access to an SFTP server yourself or you can provide us these details from your own solution.
We can also authenticate through a key pair which if needed we can generate and provide you with.
Kornit X will periodically create an XML file in the /orders directory of the SFTP account for any new orders. If the /orders directory does not exist then it will be automatically created by Kornit X.
The XML file may contain multiple items.
This XML file contains all details required to complete the order split into sections:
> Order
> Item
> Assets
> Attributes
The order elements of the XML contains all of the order specific details such as:
The <orders> object then contains an <items> array of which there can be multiple <item> objects - In more general terms, an order can contain multiple items.
The <item> element will include the same fields as the item object described in the Order-iT integration guide available at https://developers-v2.custom-gateway.net/
In addition to the standard fields, the item element will also include <assets> and <attributes>.
The <assets> element will include a series of child <asset> tags for each piece of artwork associated with an item. Each <asset> has a <name>, <url> and optional <description> child elements. The quantity of <asset> elements will depend primarily upon the item’s type.
Each <item> will contain <asset> element for:
Each surface area output in each available image format. The naming convention for the asset will be in the form output-x.ext where x is the surface area number.
Each surface area merge output in each available image format. The naming convention for the asset will in the form output-merge-x.ext where x is the surface area merge reference.
A range of thumbnails, each with a naming convention of the form thumbnail-x.png where x identifies the view or angle from which the thumbnail was taken.
It is possible for us to send text based personalisation in the XML mainly on orders placed using the Textual item type where there is no requirement for the supplier to receive print ready artwork from the platform.
This is a setting on the integration which your Kornit X contact can enable for you.
These fields are added to the <attributes> element
The supplier is required to upload an acknowledgement file to the /acknowledgements directory of the SFTP account which Kornit X will then take as confirmation that the supplier is ready and happy to process the order.
The acknowledgement XML file can contain multiple orders and is structured as follows:
The ID field must correlate to an order that the supplier has received via the orders XML file. The supplier may not send an acknowledgement for an order that it was never sent to begin with.
Once the file has been processed by Kornit X, it will be deleted.
Once the order has been completed and dispatched to the customer, the supplier should upload a shipment file to the /shipments directory.
The shipment file follows exactly the same structure as the acknowledgement file and the same principles should be used in its creation. The only addition is that the shipping file can contain a tracking link / reference.
Once processed by Kornit X the shipments XML files will be deleted.
Below is an example of an anonymised XML file.

NOTE - with this inventory file, "ean" can be replaced with "sku". JoJo Maman Bébé generally use EAN.
On the SFTP these XML files should be placed in a directory called /inventory in the root.
<inventory xmlns:i="https://custom-gateway.net/sl/proxy2/generic-fs/inventory" xmlns:p="https://custom-gateway.net/sl/proxy2/generic-fs/inventory-product">

A branded A4 Dispatch Note must be included within each order. It contains information which is vital for the Customer Returns process.
An example Dispatch Note can be viewed here.
The Dispatch Note is available to download and print from the platform.
If you are integrating directly with the platform, a URL will be included with the data where you will be able to access and print the Dispatch Note.
However, there are systemic solutions available - these should be discussed and agreed with the JoJo Maman Bébé team directly.
