If you need to get multiple Items into Infoplus, put the data into an Excel or .csv file and then upload the file into Infoplus using the Bulk Load process.


For a step-by-step demonstration of bulk loading records into Infoplus, see the Video: Bulk Load Records.

 

The Bulk Load process will allow you to map your source file's fields to Infoplus fields with a variety of options.

 

Required Fields


Below is a list of the required fields for uploading Items into Infoplus. 

NOTE: Your source file does not have to include all of this information, but at a minimum, you need to include the SKU and Item Description. If, for a field, all records you are uploading will have the same value, you can select a Default Value (e.g. if the Unit Code for every SKU is "Each", your source file doesn't have to, but is also okay if it does, contain this column because you can select the Default Value of "Each" during the bulk load).  

  • Item Category
  • Sub Item Category
  • SKU
  • Item Description
  • Backorder
  • Charge Code
  • Critical Amount
  • Max Cycle
