SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dealer SIF data often arrives unstructured and requires normalization, currency and price calculations, and a readable format for comparison and procurement planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SIF parsing and field normalization, including manufacturer code expansion.
  • Multi-record handling with ON/OD and AN/AD pairs, support multiple price variants, and output to CSV or Google Sheets for FF&E workflows.
  • Use Case: Import a dealer quote and compare it against your internal specs in a single view.

Quick Start

Run the sif-to-csv workflow on a SIF file to produce a clean CSV or Google Sheet.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert SIF dealer quote data to CSV for FF&E procurement tracking?

Converting SIF data to CSV involves parsing dealer quote records, normalizing manufacturer codes into brand names, and computing derived pricing to produce a structured dataset for procurement tracking. The output supports FF&E workflows directly.

What is the best way to normalize manufacturer codes in SIF file exports?

Normalizing manufacturer codes in SIF exports requires applying mapping rules to expand codes into readable brand names while computing derived pricing. Validation logic flags unknown codes, ensuring clean data for analysis or procurement planning.

Can I export parsed SIF records directly to Google Sheets?

Yes, parsed SIF records can be output directly to Google Sheets. The process handles multiple records with ON, OD, AN, and AD pairs, supporting multiple price variants to create a clean dataset ready for comparison within Google Sheets.

How do I handle multiple price variants when importing SIF data?

Handling multiple price variants in SIF data requires parsing ON, OD, AN, and AD record pairs to compute derived pricing accurately. Applying field normalization across these variants ensures a structured dataset ready for procurement analysis.

What happens to unknown manufacturer codes during SIF file conversion?

During SIF file conversion, unknown manufacturer codes are flagged through validation and reporting mechanisms. This ensures unmapped codes are isolated for review before the final structured dataset is output to CSV or Google Sheets.
