Important: Scheduled maintenance: The PDX Pre-Production environment will be temporarily unavailable from Monday, May 25, 2026, at 08:00 UTC (10:00 CEST) to Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 16:00 UTC (18:00 CEST). Details are available on the StiboSystems statushub: https://statushub.mdm.stibosystems.com/maintenances/232017
This release elevates PDX capabilities through refined channel operations, expanded features, and focused error resolutions. It also offers a glimpse of upcoming developments while reinforcing the platform's core architecture for improved performance and reliability.
This update includes new features, error corrections, planned channel updates, and future update preview.
New Features
The new functionality is described below:
Amazon Channel Improvements
With this release, we are continuing to make improvements to the Amazon Vendor and Seller channel. Focus has been on improving the handling of special cases:
-
Multiple ASIN and SKU Handling
We are now improving the handling of cases where a single product (single UPC / EAN / GTIN) in PDX matches multiple ASINs or even SKUs on the Amazon side. This is obtained by providing detailed error messages to help clients resolve these duplication as in the example below:
Errors like these can either be handled by assigning correct 'Merchant Suggested ASIN' and 'Vendor SKU' values or by reaching out to Amazon Support to get help cleaning up duplicates.
-
External Product ID Uniqueness
With this release, PDX will surface errors in the UI and on submission if multiple products have the same External Product ID and External Product ID Type combination.
-
On submission
-
In product details
-
-
External Product ID Validation
With this release, PDX will surface errors in the UI, and upon submission, if products have invalid External Product IDs as defined by their External Product ID Type. Examples are below.
1WorldSync Channel: Submission of Packaging Hierarchies
As part of an error correction in the 1WorldSync channel, we have adjusted the submission of packaging hierarchies.
Previously, if a submission included a product and if there was an error on the product, this would prevent the erroneous product and its lower levels in the packaging hierarchy (including those with no errors) from being submitted.
After this change, PDX will allow the submission of the lowest level (the Each); although a submission may include products with errors on a higher level in a packaging hierarchy, any Eaches with no errors will be submitted.
This feature has been available to pilot customers in limited availability for some time but is now generally available.
PDX UI Refresh
The PDX UI will receive a number of updates regarding the look and feel of the application, such as colors, fonts, spacing, and more.
Driven by the interest in Community Idea 0582, the refreshed UI will also provide environment highlighting, making it easier for users to distinguish between production clients and clients on lower life-cycle environments.
Digital Catalog Improvements
A number of changes have been introduced to the Digital Catalog to make the UI more appealing to external parties browsing and improve fetching data, such as the following:
-
Update to the UI look and feel
-
UI Localization (supported languages include English, French, German, Spanish and Italian)
-
Introduction of configurable search facets
-
Above-the-fold section added to the product details page
Reach out to your Stibo Systems representative if you are interested in trying out the Digital Catalog.
Note: The improvements described will not be available on the day of the production update, as the last migration efforts on the production environment are expected to delay the release approximately two days.
Consistent Attribute Ordering in Channel Excel Export
Attribute ordering in the channel export flow is now consistent across the export experience and the downloaded export file, aligning with the PDX UI ordering. Attributes are sorted by displaySequence and then by attribute name as a tiebreaker, ensuring stable ordering even when sequences are equal or missing. This removes the previously 'random' column order and makes offline Excel work much easier to maintain.
Error Corrections
Amazon DE Channel
We fixed an issue where Amazon DE submissions would be returned due to invalid values in the List of Value (LOV) entries. The Amazon DE now uses German marketplace-specific LOV values while keeping attribute names in English, ensuring correct validation for locale-sensitive fields (such as unit-related attributes).
Amazon Status Updates
Some customers have observed an issue in the Amazon channels where products did not receive an updated status and/or an ASIN after submission. This issue has now been fixed, and we have extended the time we poll Amazon for status updates after submission to 48 hours.
Products that have remained in the 'Submitted' state can get a proper status update and ASIN simply by being resubmitted.
Channel Context Missing
The channel context (e.g., selected market or receiver) was missing during the setup of the auto-assignment rules. This has been re-introduced in the form of a dropdown, which also allows quick navigation to rules established in other parts of the channel hierarchy.
Planned Channel Updates
The planned channel updates are listed below:
Amazon Channels Update
