The correct mapping of the country of origin is essential for marketplaces like Amazon. PlentyONE offers several options to map the field country_of_origin to ensure smooth data transmission.

1. Manufacturing country ID as source

Mapping the internal Manufacturing country ID is the most reliable method as it uses a unique system-internal identification. These IDs are firmly anchored and unchangeable in PlentyONE.

1. Select the predefined country in the field Export as.
2. Set source: In your offer catalogue, select Manufacturing country ID as the source for country_of_origin.
3. Use ID list: Use the official PlentyONE ID list to find the correct ID for each country of origin. You can find this list in the manual at: https://knowledge.plentymarkets.com/en-gb/manual/main/data/internal-IDs.html#20.
4. Assign values: Enter the respective ID as comparative value in the Manufacturing country ID field, e.g. 1 for Germany.

2. Manufacturing country ISO Code as source

Alternatively, you can also use the standardised two-letter ISO code (Alpha-2 code) as the source.

1. Select the predefined country in the field Export as.
2. Set source: Select Manufacturing country ISO Code as the source for country_of_origin.
3. Use ISO codes: Enter the corresponding ISO code of the country of origin as comparative value for Manufacturing country ISO Code, e.g. DE for Germany or US for the USA.
4. Note: Although this method is intuitive, discrepancies may occur when exporting to marketplaces if the ISO codes do not exactly match the internal PlentyONE specifications. Therefore, the Manufacturing country ID is the more reliable choice.

If additional countries are to be added, you can add another value, in this case another country of origin, via the option "ADD COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN.VALUE)".
