Field Mapping – Import Inventory

The following tables list the field mapping used when importing new inventory records or updates from a file.

Column names in the import file will be automatically matched to the corresponding field mapping by first looking for an exact field name match (with or without spaces), and then by looking at abbreviations and synonyms to guess at the closest match.
