Importing Manufacturers, Categories & Products.

In the previous tutorial you imported Chains and Stores. Now switch to the Manufacturers View screen to import Manufacturers, Product Categories and Products

Always check this dialogue. Any issues with the import will be shown here

The next two slides demonstrate how an import can fail. Products that are imported must each have a pre-existing parent Manufacturer & Product Category

Because you have not yet imported Product Categories, all Products being imported are rejected (see the error in the dialogue below)

Import Product Categories before importing Products. After that each Product will have a pre-existing parent Manufacturer & Product Category

Again, always check this dialogue. Any issues with the import will be shown here

Import the Products.csv file from your sample data the same way as with you previous data imports

After selecting the Products.csv file remember to click the green “check” icon to apply the imported data to your system

Again, always check this dialogue. Any issues with the import will be shown here
