Exporting and importing inventory as a CSV file in TWICE is an efficient way to handle large data updates quickly. Whether you're transitioning inventory from another system, adding new items, or updating existing records, this feature is invaluable for bulk data management.
Key Use Cases for Inventory Export and Import
Transferring Existing Inventory
Situation: If you're moving from another software system to TWICE, you likely have an existing inventory database.
Process: Export your inventory data from the current system as a CSV file, adjust the format to match TWICE’s import requirements using spreadsheet software, and import it directly into TWICE. This method saves time and maintains data integrity during the transition.
Adding New Articles and SKUs
Efficiency: Manually entering numerous new inventory items can be cumbersome. If you already have this data organized in a spreadsheet, using the CSV import function streamlines adding these articles to TWICE.
Example: You can import data including article codes, SKUs, and detailed specifications all at once, quickly populating your inventory system with new entries.
Editing Multiple Articles Simultaneously
Bulk Updates: Occasionally, you may need to update several items in your inventory—for instance, changing the status of multiple items to "Out of Use" or adding a new specification across various articles.
Method: Export the current inventory to a CSV, make the necessary edits in your spreadsheet software, and re-import the updated file back into TWICE. This approach ensures that all changes are applied uniformly and efficiently.
