Vendor Catalog Batch ==================== **Batch Type Key:** ``vendor_catalog`` **Purpose:** Allows updating product costs from new catalog data **Default Handler:** :class:`~rattail:rattail.batch.vendorcatalog.VendorCatalogHandler` Data for this type of batch usually comes from a spreadsheet or similar file, as obtained directly from the vendor. You can also define a "common" format to use, in which case you would convert each vendor file to that format. (That is to cut down on the number of file parsers needed.) In any case executing this batch will just update Rattail by default; you may want a custom handler to update your POS system instead.
