Give each mapped attribute a clear owner
The connection discovers supported attributes from your PIM so you can map supplier price, availability, minimum order and product name to compatible destinations. Supported writable types include text, textarea, number and price collection. Product identifiers are used for matching rather than being overwritten as imported offer values.
Choose only the attributes this source should control. Your existing catalog structure and unrelated product values stay under their current ownership. This is useful when a purchasing team needs current supplier information on a product while the catalog team maintains descriptions and other enriched content separately.
Resolve the product and currency deliberately
Match the source EAN or SKU to a supported identifier or non-localized, non-scoped text attribute. Products must already exist in the destination. Missing and ambiguous matches are visible review outcomes; the transfer does not guess which product should receive the values. Several source offers resolving to the same product also require an unambiguous selection.
Map a price to a price collection attribute with the selected offer currency. Other currencies already present in that selected attribute are preserved. Feednaro transfers the recorded amount in its explicit currency; comparison and transfer do not introduce automatic currency conversion.
Review language and channel where the attribute requires them
Akeneo attributes can carry language or channel context. Where the supported destination field requires a locale or scope, select it in the mapping. Where a field does not use that context, leave it unset. Preview validates the chosen combination against the discovered attribute before allowing activation.
For example, a supplier name value mapped to a localized text field needs the intended language selected. A number field for supplier availability must receive a compatible quantity. Inspect the proposed value and destination together, rather than treating every column as interchangeable text.
Check the changes, then follow the result
Set up the connection through Connect, Map fields, Preview and Activate. Preview reads current product values and prepares the proposed changes without writing to Akeneo. The completed preview must still match the current settings and source data when you activate it. Changed inputs require another check.
Activated transfers verify the target values by reading the product back. Temporary request limits defer work; uncertain outcomes stay visible until reconciled. Records already completed remain completed during a selected retry. Transfer history gives you a place to review the result, while scheduling can be paused when the connection needs attention.
