Audience: Retailers

The standard flow of data through Dsco requires the supplier to add their items to Dsco. When a retailer creates the order and Dsco is unable to find a matching item, that order is rejected. 

However, Dsco also supports the flow of custom made to order SKUs. By enabling this feature per supplier, retailers can circumvent the typical check that a SKU is required to exist in Dsco first before an order can be created. Instead, Dsco will create the custom SKU in the supplier's account once an order is received.  

For example, Ted the Ned Ryerson just purchased a custom made and embroidered hat from his favorite online retailer. The order flows from the retailers system to Dsco, and Dsco provides all the details of the order to the hat selling trading partner for fulfillment. Even if the SKU was not previously found in Dsco, provided that a trading partner ID was included in the order information, Dsco will create the custom SKU automatically in the supplier's account and the order can be placed and fulfilled quickly and efficiently. 

This feature is currently available via the following integration methods:
