French term or phrase: fichier de création de produits
This term is in an agreement between a retailer and one of its suppliers. The supplier is required to put information about each product in a "fichier de création de produits", including UPC code, catalogue number and price. Whenever these are updated, the file in question must be updated too. It seems to me that the word "création" is being used rather broadly here -- almost figuratively rather than literally.

I appreciate the lightning-fast assistance! I would also like to award 2 points for the "updateable" refinement which is also appreciated and shows that the answerer really wanted to make sure that the intent of the source text was fully reflected. Please let me know if there's a way to do this.

It seems 'création' really refers to miscreation (of products) in this case.

  -> Well, yes, if the file exists to praise the products, rather than to list them and deficiencies/ defects alongside other info.

updateable product catalogue/file


Explanation:
updating seems to be important in the context so think it should be included in translation. A list of products with details is usually called a catalogue rather than file imo. "Create" a catalogue/file in following examples:

MyBusinessCatalog will let you create an updateable product catalog on CD or e-shop, to provide your customers with the actual information on your products. The catalog recorded on a CD will never go obsolete, for it has an online update system.

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: You're right to say products and creation don't both need to be used, but 'product file' is surely too unspecific and not sure your links cover the meaning here.

  -> It is quite normal for workplaces to use terms which may not specify every detail of what they refer to. I think that in the real world, this is the term a retailer would use.
