Please use the following process to bulk load your Inventory into iHaveit
We have created the following iHaveit bulk import xls template example xls file
The template includes the Columns and Headers required by iHaveit to automatically recognise and bulk import your inventory. Columns below with a * are mandatory for iHaveit to import your inventory. iHaveit knows exactly how to upload your inventory if you create the same Row A Header Columns within your CSV or XLS file.
The Headers can be placed in any Column in Row A as long as you use the exact header names as shown in row 1 of the template file. ie it does not matter if you place the Sell Price in colum D or H or L, just make sure the header name is correct.
Not all of the columns need to be completed, but the more you information you complete increases the chance of iHaveit automatically loading your inventory.
