In order to prevent a failed import, you must make sure that your data is clean. This means that you must make sure that all data is valid and correct.
The file will fail to import if:
- Part name or type is blank
- Cost, markup is not a valid number, e.g 10, 10.00 (no symbols - £, %)
- Invalid Tax description (no symbols - £, %)
Important notes
- You will need to edit your data and remove any commas by using find and replace with a blank to ensure your data conforms to CSV standards.
- It does not matter which order the information is provided in. When you import your data it will ask you to specify what each column is from a drop-down box.
- You must complete the required fields as a minimum.
- It is important to check that the information you've uploaded has been correctly imported.
- Commusoft will not take any responsibility for the content and quality of any imported data.
- The import may take a few minutes depending on the size of your file.
- Imports are limited to 5000 records. If your file is larger than this, please split it into different CSV files and import one at a time. Please ensure you wait for the notification that the import has completed before starting the next one.
- You can update the import if the prices change for example. To do this, please ensure that the part name, as well as the Manufacturer Part Number, are identical, then re-upload and all other fields will update.
