Store Stock Feed Documentation

Users can set up a Stock Counts Report feed that will be sent to a FTPS destination server managed by the user.

Users will first need to set up the destination FTPS server, which can be done in Store Settings > Integrations.

Please note:

  • The URL should include the username and password for the FTPS user.

  • The user must include the path that they want the files to be sent to.

  • The format should be in this format: “ftps://username:password@hostname/directory”.

  • The hostname can be either a public IP “203.0.113.45” address or a normal hostname “example.com”.

  • Only FTPS servers are allowed to be entered as a destination server for security reasons.

User Responsibility:

Please note that this step is managed by the user and not by KNAPS.

  • The SSL certificate used should not be self-signed, as this may expose the user to Man in the Middle attacks.

  • The FTPS destination server must allow the following inbound rules:

    • Allow TCP requests for the following port range 40000 - 40010.

    • Allow TCP requests for the following port range 20 - 21.

Clicking on “Validate and Save” will start a validation process that includes sending a test signal to the destination server to see if it accepts requests. A message will be displayed if the validation fails.

After validating and saving the destination server, the entered link in its entirety will be saved. If the user wishes to change any of the details of the provided link they must delete the Destination Server and enter a new URL.

Note that only the entered hostname or IP address will be displayed in the settings to avoid exposing the username, password, and the path where files are saved, as these are sensitive pieces of information.

Scheduling the Stock Count Report Task:

Please note that you should have your destination server specified and configured via Store Settings at this point.

Users can go to the Stock Counts Report and follow these steps to create a scheduled task that will send the results of the report to the server:

  1. Navigate to the Stock Counts Report screen.

  2. Fill in the desired filters.

  3. Click the Schedule Report button.

  4. Provide a name for the task.

  5. Select a frequency (this determines how often the task should run).

  6. Click on the Save button.

Users can click on the Schedule Report button again to reopen the modal if they wish to delete the task they created or replace it with another one.
