Inventory: importing products from Excel
Load the stock in one file instead of creating every product by hand.
- Accounting → Inventory → Excel template — a sample with the columns Name, SKU, Category, Unit, Cost, Price, Qty, Reorder point, Vendor and one example row.
- Fill it in: Name is required, the rest optional. Unit — pc, ml, g; Cost — purchase price; Price — selling price; Qty — the stock right now; Reorder point — the level at which to remind you to reorder.
- Inventory → Import Excel → pick the file (.xlsx, .xls or .csv).
A product is matched by SKU, then by name. A match is updated (prices, category, vendor); a new one is created. If the quantity in the file differs from the current stock, the difference is written to Movements as an “import” move — the stock history stays honest.
Column order in your own spreadsheet doesn't matter: the program recognises them by name. Up to 5,000 rows per import.
Inside the program the same article is under Help.
