Price List File Requirements

This section explains which columns are in the price list file exported using Product Inventory and which columns are mandatory in the price list imported to Product Inventory

This section explains the requirements to the price list file that you can import to Product Inventory.

• It must be a valid Excel (*.xslx) file.
• The imported price list file uses the following format: <Account_ID>-Price-list-<Date>-<Vendor_ID>.xlsx, where:
  • <Account_ID>: ID of an account for which the price list was imported,
  • <Date>: Date in the dd-mm-yyyy format (It can be any date, which is required only for compatibility with export naming format. Product Inventory does not check or use it.),
  • <Vendor_ID>: ID of a specific vendor if the price list contains prices only for one vendor. If vendor ID is not provided in the file name and if the price list does not include the Vendor ID column, you will be prompted to specify it in one of the import steps.

• It must have mandatory columns listed in the table below.

  Column Name	Column Description	Example Value	Mandatory in the Imported File
