Currently, the 5 last columns in the excel template are for your custom attributes. Replace the column title Attribute 1,2,3,4,5 with your own desired attribute names. Add as many columns as you need and delete the one you do not need. However, ensure that the attribute name you add in the file exactly matches to an existing custom attribute in WooPOS. If it is not the case then you must create the attribute (and the attribute set name) in WooPOS before to execute the data importation otherwise WooPOS will not know where to put the data.

3. Go to File in the top right corner of the screen and select Save to save your excel file.

Warnings indicate notification that values don’t exist though they will be created upon import.  Errors indicate the conflict with data in the import file and aren’t formatted correctly.

 

8. If you want to revert the import changes you made, select Import SKUs again, then select Roll Back Last SKU Import in the drop-down menu that appears.

 

9. If you included quantity on hand in the excel file there will be a batch automatically created in Inventory Count which you can use to update the QOH for you new SKUs. This will generate a selective snapshot of only your new SKUs and will not affect your existing inventory.

Step 1: Navigate to the Inventory Count tab.

Step 2: Ensure your SKU and QOH information is correct. 

Step 3: Select View Variance >>.

 

10. To finish updating your quantity on hand you need to apply variance.
