Follow

Use the Import Products template to create and update the product details including: default sell and purchase prices, product groups and last costs. 

Points to note

  • Once the import is in progress and then completed it cannot be undone or cancelled. We recommend exporting your Products to a CSV file before making any changes and saving this is a back-up copy. The back-up can be imported to revert your product details back to their original state.
  • Blank cells or fields in the template will remove the matching field's existing data in Unleashed's product record. Do not edit or remove any columns or cells that are not due to be changed. 
  • The template must be saved in a CSV format to import successfully. 
  • We recommend saving numerical based columns (e.g. Barcode, Phone Number) as Text or Number formats to ensure the full value is imported correctly. For more details, see Data Import Checklist.
