1. Before importing any styles, you will need to format an excel spreadsheet. Contact an Indigo8 Rep if you need help to confirm the fields that you need.
Generally we recommend the following templates.
Template 1 - Importing All Style Information
...
- Colour 1 - Mandatory 1 colour required
- Colour 2
- Colour 3 .. max number of colours is 35.
Updating Prices Template 2 - Updating Prices (if you want to update prices only)
The only mandatory fields needed are Style # & any of the price fields. If you want to only update buy price, then you will only require Style # & buy price on your excel file. Only display the values that you need on the excel report.
Don't forget - Importing per Style or SKU
...
- All size ranges, product categories must be entered in the system before importing, otherwise the sizes will not import
- Ensure that your file is excel or csv
- Ensure that you have the column headers in row 1
2. Once your file is formatted you are ready to import.
Go to Product Search screen
23. In the bottom left corner click Style Importer and the below screen should appear. Essentially the idea is to drag your file into the "Import Fields" column and then to match those fields with the "Indigo8 Import Fields".
Firstly, you need to select the items on the left hand side.
- Choose an existing template: This allows you to save the fields into a template. Will explain this function at the bottom of the manual.
- Choose Supplier: This is the maker/manufacturing of the goods. If the maker is not in your system you can add them on the fly by clicking Add New Supplier.
- Add Styles to a Line: Select the line in which the styles should belong to. If the line is not yet created in the system you can also add this on fly by clicking Create New Line. Follow the prompts on how to create the line. Once that is done you can continue to import your products.
- Select Buy Currency: If you are importing/updating pricing you can select the buy currency of the products on the excel file. Otherwise you can leave this blank if you are not importing this field
- Trading Entity: Similar to Buy Currency, if your importing/updating pricing information select the trading entity you are wanting to import/update. Otherwise you can leave this blank if you are not importing this field
Please note: If you are wanting to update pricing for multiple trading entities you will need to do seperate imports. For example if you want to import AUD pricing and USD pricing, you will need to import your file twice. - Update Existing Styles: This function allows you to UPDATE ONLY the PRICES and COLORS based on your excel file.
34. Once all basic details have been field you need to think about if you are importing per STYLE or per SKU.
Per SKU refers to every line item including colour & size. Normally you would select this option if you are importing GS1 barcodes at the same time.
Depending on your situation please select the relevant option.
