An import can create records in inFlow from a list that you already have. In order to use your file for import, you\u2019ll need to be sure it\u2019s in the right format. Here\u2019s an example of a Product Details<\/em> (doesn’t include stock levels<\/strong>) file for import:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/div><\/p>\n\n

NOTE: This is very small example. You can add more columns to import more information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on this example inFlow will create four products, each including the item type<\/a>, corresponding price and cost from the adjacent columns. The example only contains four columns, but you can add more, \u00a0such as barcode, vendor price, category, etc.<\/p>\n\n

What happens if I already have the same products in inFlow?<\/h2>\n

Not to worry, there won’t be any duplicates! inFlow looks at the Item Name field (in the file) to determine whether the same item already exists in the program. If it doesn’t exist, then inFlow will create them as new items. If it does exist, then inFlow will\u00a0update<\/strong> the details in the program to match the details in the file.<\/p>\n

For example, if there’s already an item named 10201 with a unit price of $10 in the program, then following the example in the image above, the import will update item 10201 to use a unit price of $12.99.<\/p>\n

A few things to remember:<\/p>\n
