SCM Uploader

Introduction

The SCM Uploader Tool is a tool for brand owners to upload product, code, serial number and SCM data. It will validate the CSV before splitting it in batches and uploading the batches as JSON to the API. When the extended_id is chosen as the key, it will split up the CSV in batches of 1000, when another SCM field is chosen, it will split it up in batches of 100.

The tool is built in Python and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

SCM API

The portal has campaign settings which define the SCM fields for all codes in a campaign, as well as the aggregation options (logistical units).

The SCM Uploader Tool then calls the Scantrust SCM data Upload API. For more information about this APIs, visit our SCM API Documentation.

Two-Factor Authentication

Users with 2FA are required to use an authorization token to login to the Scantrust portal. Because of this, they need to use an UAT token to run this tool.
