Importing and Exporting Product Attributes
Importing Supplier Quantity Prices
Importing Alternate Units of Measure
Before You Begin
You must import product and related details using the Unleashed templates. You can import/export products, stock on hand, batch numbers, serial numbers, supplier details, pricing and inventory details.
Read the following topics to understand the correct process details and avoid common errors:
Go to Inventory | Products | Import/Export, download the required template and enter data in the format specified.
You can export a pre-populated template of your products' data to make amendments in bulk.
- Go to Inventory, then select Products and Import/Export.
- In the top right of the Import/Export page, click green Export to export the Products template by default.
- Alternatively, use the green Export button drop-down list to select either Products, Stock On Hand, Serial Numbers, Batch Numbers, Product Suppliers, Inventory Details, Product Attributes, Product Pricing, Supplier Quantity Pricing or Alternative Units of Measure.
- A CSV file is generated matching the template's required layout.
Tip: If updating existing product records it's best practice to save a copy of the original export as a back-up copy. Once a template is successfully imported to Unleashed the upload cannot be reversed and you will not be able to revert to the previous version.
Importing Products
- All products must have a Product Code and Product Description. You can leave the other columns blank if there are no related values.
- If you want to enter new values for Supplier Code, Supplier Name, and Product Groups you can enter them in the respective columns. The corresponding details will be created after the import.
- A Last Cost value for a specific product can be set in the template but will be overwritten by the most recent purchase price or assembled cost for that product.
- If the sales tax rate is 15%, you must enter it as 15. Do not include the % symbol.
- For template field definitions, see Import Products Field definitions.
Importing Stock On Hand
- This import is only for new products. DO NOT use this import for existing products with available stock on hand.
- The Stock On Hand import allows you to upload the starting quantities and values of all your product codes, and also correctly split them by location.
- You must verify and enter the correct values for the Stock on Hand (SOH) import. The stock value and quantity are recorded based on the values you import.
- You must enter the Product Code and Warehouse Code for the product.
- Average Land Cost is the value PER UNIT, not the total of all SOH. The AverageLandPrice column is used to enter the cost/value per unit of your product. The SOH multiplied by this amount is the total value of stock.
- Serial Number: Enter each serial number on a different row.
- Batch Number and Expiry Date: Enter the batch number and associated expiry date in the DD/MM/YYYY format.
- For template field definitions, see Import Stock On Hand field definitions.

- This import is only for existing products with SOH. If you are setting up your products for the first time then you must use the Products and SOH Import templates.
- Before you import Serial Numbers, ensure that your current stock on hand quantity matches the total serial numbers you will upload.
