Acumatica mass upload stock item images - acumatica

Question

We have a list of stock items in Acumatica and now want to upload their pictures.
Is there any way to mass upload images of stock items to Acumatica cloud platform?
Thanks

Answer 1

My suggestion for mass uploading of images to Stock or Non-stock items would be to use the built in Contract API, I have created the following sample code project that will use the in built "Default - 6.00.001" end point in version 6.1 or greater.
namespace MassInventoryItemImageUpload
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//List of inventory Item CD's and associated file to upload.
List<Tuple<string, string>> itemsToUpdate = new List<Tuple<string, string>>() { new Tuple<string, string>("InventoryItemCD", #"fileUrl") };
Console.WriteLine("Updateing : " + itemsToUpdate.Count + " Inventory Items, press enter to begin");
Console.ReadLine();
AcumaticaProcessor processor = new AcumaticaProcessor();
processor.Login();
processor.UploadImages(itemsToUpdate);
Console.WriteLine("Updates complete, press enter to exit program");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class AcumaticaProcessor
{
DefaultSoapClient client = new DefaultSoapClient();
public void Login()
{
client.Login("username", "password", "Company", "branch", null);
}
public void UploadImages(List<Tuple<string, string>> updateItems)
{
//Foreach Inventory Item in the list we are going to upload a files
foreach(Tuple<string,string> updateItem in updateItems)
{
UploadImage(updateItem);
}
}
private void UploadImage(Tuple<string, string> updateItem)
{
try
{
//Finds the StockItem with the given InventoryCD
StockItem itemToUpdate = new StockItem()
{
InventoryID = new StringSearch() { Value = updateItem.Item1 }
};
itemToUpdate = client.Get(itemToUpdate) as StockItem;
//Updates found StockItem to include associated files
client.PutFiles(itemToUpdate, FileData(updateItem.Item2));
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
//Creates Acumatica File object from filestream and return File[] for uplaod
private Acumatica.File[] FileData(string url)
{
byte[] fileData;
using (FileStream file = System.IO.File.Open(url, System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
fileData = new byte[file.Length];
file.Read(fileData, 0, fileData.Length);
}
return new Acumatica.File[1] { new Acumatica.File() { Name = url.Substring(url.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1), Content = fileData } };
}
}
}
