Formatting Guidelines

The following guidelines should be noted when creating your Stock-Template.csv file for import:

  • Column names must follow the exact same naming scheme as provided or the import upload will fail.
  • Blank rows are considered empty and skipped by the importer.
  • It is possible to successfully upload 0 rows of information, as long as all required columns are present, the importer will still “succeed”.
  • Each supplier and supplier code must be unique in comparison to the rest of the names and codes in the csv.

Prior to import, check that stock defaults have been set on DocketManager. See Stock - Setting Up Stock Default Attributes.
