Import/Update products
« on: February 24, 2013, 02:41:45 AM »
Just got v13 installed and starting to use it over in the UK.
Thanks for a great program!

I'm starting to use the Product Import/update facility and that's working well.
Is it possible for me to define my own 'Import File Version#' ( or re-define/add to the Mini field options)?
I have my own set required fields and at present I have to use the Empty option, open the file and then assign the fields each time.

I could use a spreadsheet setup with all the field headers for file version 11 but this does make it a bit fiddly!

Might it be possible for the import routine to check the Import Data Field Headers (when Empty is used) to see if they match any system fields and auto-fill in suggested matching fields?

I've used the import facility to update product data and that's working great.
I'm using the unique Item# to match my import data to data on the sytem.
What other fields can I use  for updating data? UPC?

The import uses the Item# to match the product.  It will update the product with the import fields that have something in it.  If the field is empty then no changes are made to that field.  There is no custom version# option.
