Fields

General

Field Description
Unit ID ID of the offer at Kaufland (id_unit). Read-only.
Storefront Kaufland storefront (country) the offer is sold in. Read-only.
EAN EAN/GTIN. Read-only.
Product ID ID of the Kaufland product page the offer is listed on. Read-only.
Product Title Title of the product at Kaufland. Read-only.
Condition Condition of the goods. Read-only: Kaufland does not change an offer's condition; for another condition, create a new offer.
Listing Status Status of the offer at Kaufland: AVAILABLE = on sale, ONHOLD = paused, INCOMPLETE = data Kaufland needs is missing, such as a shipping group. Read-only.
Live Whether the offer can currently be bought according to Kaufland (is_live). From this, the import (Import Offers) sets Item Online on the merchantCENTRAL marketplace item: online as soon as an offer for the EAN is live – for an item per storefront channel, only the offers of that storefront count (if there are none for it yet, the item stays unchanged). An offer marked Removed at Kaufland is not live. Read-only.
Removed at Kaufland Kaufland no longer has the offer, for example because it was deleted in the Seller Portal: a complete import of the storefront no longer returned it, or Kaufland answered Upload Offer or a synchronization with "not found". The offer's stock and price are no longer sent; the next import that finds it again brings it back. Read-only.
Offer ID Your own ID of the offer at Kaufland (id_offer), such as your SKU. Read-only.

Pricing

Field Description
Price Your offer price (listing_price) including VAT. With Smart Pricing, Kaufland sells the offer at a price between Min Price and this price. For an offer of new goods of an item from Business Central (condition New or blank, BC Item No. filled), the price synchronization sets the price: the price from the sales price list of the storefront's sales channel or a price fixed on the marketplace item. For a variant (BC Variant Code), it is the variant's price if the price list has a line for it, otherwise the line for all variants. The field is then read-only here: change the price in the sales price list, or a fixed price on the marketplace item, and then run Sync Prices in the Kaufland Offers list. The same applies to a used or refurbished offer kept as a variant or item of its own (see Used and Refurbished Offers). All other used and refurbished offers and offers without an item keep the price you enter here; it is sent with Upload Offer.
Min Price Minimum price including VAT; with Smart Pricing, Kaufland does not sell the offer below it. Kaufland cannot remove a minimum price once it is set – so the field cannot be cleared, only changed.
Current Price Price at which Kaufland is currently selling the offer, including VAT. With Smart Pricing, it can be below Price. Read-only.
Currency Currency of the prices: the currency of the storefront. Read-only.

Inventory

Field Description
Quantity Quantity that Kaufland sells. With Auto Sync Inventory, it comes from the merchantCENTRAL inventory calculation and cannot be changed here; without it, you enter it yourself and send it with Upload Offer.
Stock Sold by Offer Only visible when set: the offer that sells the stock of the same item, the same variant, and the same location on this storefront. As long as it is set, the inventory synchronization sends this offer quantity 0, so the stock is not sold twice. See One Stock, One Offer.
Warehouse Kaufland warehouse (ID) the offer ships from. The lookup reads all warehouses of your Kaufland account; Upload Offer sends it along. If a location in Business Central is assigned to it in the Kaufland Warehouses, that location applies to the offer's stock as long as the offer has no BC Location Code of its own.

Shipping

Field Description
Handling Time Handling time in days. If merchantCENTRAL calculates a handling time along with the quantity, the inventory synchronization sends that one instead of the one entered here when Auto Sync Inventory is on.
Shipping Group Kaufland shipping group of the offer; it sets shipping costs and delivery options. The lookup reads all shipping groups of the storefront from your Kaufland account; Upload Offer sends it along.

Business Central

Field Description
BC Item No. Linked item in Business Central. The import finds it via the EAN; for used goods, you can choose an item of their own. If the item changes, BC Variant Code is cleared.
BC Variant Code Variant of the item to which the offer's EAN belongs; the stock and price of this variant are sent. The import finds item and variant via the EAN (GTIN or barcode item reference). Kaufland items are listed per item in merchantCENTRAL, not per variant: an offer of a variant mostly follows the marketplace item of the item. Percentage and safety stock of the marketplace item also apply to the variant; a fixed quantity (Quantity Fixed) and the maximum quantity (Max Quantity) do not – they are meant for the item and would otherwise be sold in full for every variant. For used goods, you can choose the variant under which you keep them.
Item Assigned Manually Item and variant were chosen by hand and are kept when the offers are imported. Set as soon as you change BC Item No. or BC Variant Code, and on creation with Create Offer if you choose an item there other than the one of the EAN. If you switch it off, the offer takes over the item and variant of the EAN again at once.
BC Location Code Location in Business Central whose stock is sent for this offer. It replaces the locations of the marketplace item in merchantCENTRAL, even if several are stored there. If the field is empty, the location assigned to the offer's Kaufland warehouse applies; without one, the locations of the marketplace item decide. See Offer Inventory.
Listing Removed The item was taken off Kaufland in merchantCENTRAL: there is no longer a Kaufland marketplace item for the offer's storefront. The next inventory synchronization sends stock 0; the offer stops selling until the item is listed again. Read-only.
Auto Sync Inventory Whether the inventory synchronization sends this offer's stock. A used or refurbished offer needs a stock of its own for this; otherwise the switch cannot be turned on (see Used and Refurbished Offers). New offers without a stock of their own come without it – whether imported or created with Create Offer. Switching it on marks the offer for the next run. Independently of this, the switch of the same name in the Kaufland Setup stops every inventory synchronization.

Notes

Field Description
Note Note of the offer that Kaufland shows to buyers – for used goods, for example, what is missing (multi-line, max. 250 characters). The import takes it over from Kaufland, Upload Offer sends it along; an empty field clears the note at Kaufland.

Synchronization

Field Description
Sync Status Synchronization status: Success, In Progress (marked for sending), or Error. Read-only.
Last Synced When the offer was last sent to Kaufland or read from Kaufland. Read-only.
Sync Error Reason for the last error – for example Kaufland's reason when a change was refused, why no price is sent, or which offer sells the stock. Only visible when there is an error.
Created At / Updated At Kaufland timestamps: when the offer was created and last changed. Read-only.

Used and Refurbished Offers

A used or refurbished offer has the same EAN as the new goods. Without further settings, the import finds the same item, the same variant, and the same location for both – the used offer would sell the stock of the new goods. The inventory and price synchronizations therefore take on such an offer only if the used goods are kept separate from the new goods:

Kept as How to set it up Stock Price
Own variant Set BC Variant Code to the variant of the used goods, such as B-WARE Stock of the variant From the sales price list, line of the variant
Own item Set BC Item No. to the item of the used goods Stock of this item From the sales price list; the item needs a Kaufland marketplace item in the sales channel of the storefront
Own location Set BC Location Code to the location of the used goods; the offer's Kaufland warehouse must be linked to a different location Stock of this location Stays manual: item and variant are those of the new goods

Then switch on Auto Sync Inventory. Without a stock of its own, Business Central refuses this and names the three ways.

  • Give a variant of the used goods a line of its own in the sales price list. Without it, the line for all variants applies, that is, the price of the new goods.
  • If you later change item, variant, or location so that the offer would have the stock of the new goods again, the inventory synchronization skips it. The summary of a manual synchronization counts it under “Used or refurbished offers left out”.
  • If the Kaufland warehouse is not linked to a location, the locations of the marketplace item apply to the new goods, and these can include the location of the used goods. A location of its own then does not count as a stock of its own.

Actions

Action Description
Create Offer Opens the Create Offer dialog for another offer for the same product, for example in another storefront or another condition; EAN, Kaufland product ID, and storefront of the offer are prefilled.
Upload Offer Uploads price, quantity, handling time, note, minimum price, Kaufland warehouse, and shipping group of this offer to Kaufland. A price of 0 is not sent, nor is a minimum price of 0; an empty note clears the note at Kaufland. If Kaufland refuses, a message gives the reason; it remains in Sync Error, and Sync Status becomes Error. If Kaufland no longer has the offer, it is marked Removed at Kaufland, and a message says so.
Import Offers Reads the offers of every enabled storefront from Kaufland again, with status, stock, and price – not just this offer. See How the Import Works.
Delete at Kaufland Deletes the offer at Kaufland and in Business Central, after a confirmation that names the offer and its EAN (default No), and closes the page. The offer is then no longer sold there and has to be created again.
Product Data & Description Opens the Kaufland Product card of the marketplace item under which the EAN is sold in the offer's storefront: product data, description, images, and the offers for the EAN. If no item is listed under the EAN yet, the EAN Lookup opens instead with EAN, storefront, and linked item – from there, the item is added to Kaufland.
Item Opens the item of Business Central the offer sells.
