With the feed® NOBB module, you get a full overview of your NOBB products on your dashboard.

Here, you can see the number of products in feed® that are synchronized with NOBB and their respective statuses. There are 10 different statuses a product in feed® can have in relation to NOBB.

  • Approved
    Everything is in perfect order; the product is approved in NOBB, and there have been no changes in feed® since the product was approved.

  • Awaiting approval
    The product is published and awaiting approval from NOBB. This process can be automatic and receive a response within seconds or minutes, or it may require manual approval, which could take longer. A product in this status will eventually be moved to either "Approved" or "Validation error" depending on the response from NOBB.

  • Ready for approval
    All required data is in place, valid, and has been synchronized to NOBB without errors. If all desired data is fully completed, you can click this option to access a product selection where you can choose to publish to NOBB for approval.

    Even though the product is in the "Ready for approval" selection, does not necessarily mean that all desired data on the product has been filled out—only the required data has been completed.

  • To be created
    These are products marked as "NOBB product" but without a value in the NOBB number field. By clicking here, you access a product selection where you can submit products for creation in NOBB. If all required fields are filled out, the product will be created in NOBB and get a NOBB number assigned to it, which will be automatically updated on the product in feed®.

    Creating a product in NOBB requires that all required fields in NOBB are filled out before sending it to NOBB. If any information is missing, the product validation will fail. You can check the status of the export job in the job overview, where any error messages will be displayed. These errors must be corrected before the product(s) can be created.

     

  • Changed in feed, not published
    If changes are made to a product after it has been synchronized with NOBB, the product will fall into this category/status until it is synchronized again. A product may be approved in NOBB, but due to changes in the product in feed®, it will appear in this status as well. By exporting these products to NOBB, they will either move to "Ready for Approval" if all validations pass, or to "Needs Correction" if there are error messages returned from NOBB.

  • Price changed, not exported
    If the price or price from date has been changed for a product, it will be shown in this selection. Using this selection you have the opportunity to export the price and date without exporting any other changes. This can be very useful in the time before a NOBB price deadline.
  • Unknown, not synchronized
    If you have selected a product as a NOBB product and entered a value in the NOBB number field but have never synchronized the product from feed® to NOBB, it will appear here. Since the product has been assigned a NOBB number, it indicates that it is an existing NOBB product. However, because it has never been synchronized from feed®, its status in NOBB is unknown.

    Typically, products in this status should only be present at startup, before performing an "onboarding" of NOBB products to feed® to get up to date. If you export a product from feed® with this status and the specified NOBB number exists in NOBB, all values in the associated fields will be updated with values from feed®. Additionally, any images, documents, and packaging from feed® will be transferred and could potentially create duplicates. 

    If you do this without first onboarding the product (contact support for onboarding), it is crucial to ensure that the information in feed® is up to date before exporting and to subsequently clean up any duplicate images, documents, and packaging in NOBB.

  • Validation error
    As the name suggests, products in this status have discrepancies that must be corrected before the product can be approved in NOBB. For details on what needs to be changed or added, go to the product and view the list of discrepancies on the NOBB tab of the product.
  • Price ready to publish
    If there are price changes in feed®, you can use this product selection to submit the updated price for approval in NOBB.

  • Rejected

    If a product is rejected during manual review by Byggtjeneste after submission for approval, it will appear here. The product will have a comment indicating the reason for the rejection. The issues causing the rejection must be addressed before resubmitting the product for approval.
    Note: Rejected products are typically also listed in the "Ready for Approval" group since there are no validation errors, only a manual comment indicating that something is wrong with the product. You need to ensure these issues are resolved before resubmitting the product for re-approval.
