Export data

With generic flat file integrations, your data can automatically be exported from Fairmarkit to a CSV file when specific events happen. Once the data is exported, you will be alerted and can download the file to import into your purchasing application.

Important: You will need to work with Fairmarkit to set up and configure the process to import your data into your purchasing application. For more information, see Prerequisites for flat file integration.

1. Events flagged by status

Fairmarkit monitors the activity of your events in Fairmarkit on a schedule. When an event moves to a flagged status (e.g., a request for quote event is awarded), the event will be exported to a CSV flat file.

Note: The available statutes depend on the type of event and what has been configured for your company.

2. Export file

Once an event is flagged, Fairmarkit exports the CSV flat file. Depending on how you setup your exports with Fairmarkit, you could receive your exported file in one of the following ways:

• SFTP: The file is sent to your from_fairmarkit folder (e.g., production/from_fairmarkit/).

• Email: Fairmarkit will email the exported file to your email.

For more information on each type of export file, see:

• Export requests for quote

3. Import file

Finally, you will need to import your data into your purchasing application. For information on how to upload files, consult the documentation for your purchasing application.
