Uploading vendor data files

Inventory managers can upload vendor details in a batch file. You can add new vendors or edit existing vendor data without resorting to manual data entry.

Inventory or Operations Managers responsible for maintaining vendor records and procurement mappings can streamline their processes by uploading two files.

The first required file is a vendor file, which contains essential master data such as reference ID, name, contact information, address, and status. The seocnd is a vendor-SKU association file, which maps vendors to their respective SKUs.

This batch update approach simplifies vendor and SKU association management, reduces the need for manual data entry, and guarantees that the system's information remains current and compliant. For this process to be effective, the upload must be formatted as a standard CSV file. You must have the necessary permissions to upload and manage vendor information.

The file upload process is the same as for inventory, and is described in Managing Inventory file uploads The file format requirements are different from those of an inventory upload, and are described below.
