Author: Reference Number: AA-01341 Created: 2011-03-01 09:39 Last Updated: 2016-09-14 08:05 0 Rating/ Voters

The Inventory Item List is the place where ALL parts are stored--1 line for each item--whether you stock the item or not. 

This document explains each column in the @OSImport_InventoryItemList_Template.xls file.  This file explains how data needs to be prepared to import your list of inventory items—whether they are in stock or not

 TO IMPORT YOUR INVENTORY STOCK LEVELS: At the time of the data conversion, it is anticipated that many of your existing inventory items will have 1 or more items in “stock”.  The actual stock levels, including the quantity in stock, the actual (or approximate) cost of the items, which warehouse the item is in, etc is stored in a separate table in OneSource—thus allowing 1 item to have multiple shipments and/or costs.  To properly prepare this type of data for import, please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_ExistingStockDetails_Template.xls

 TO IMPORT A MATRIX OF PRICES FOR YOUR INVENTORY ITEMS: If any of your inventory items include a price “matrix”, please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_PricingMatrix_Template.xls. 

 TO IMPORT ADDITIONAL / ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIERS FOR YOUR INVENTORY ITEMS: If any of your items have more than 1 Supplier, please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_AlternateSuppliers_LayoutOption1_Template.xls OR @OSImport_InventoryItemList_AlternateSuppliers_LayoutOption2_Template.xls.

 TO IMPORT ITEM ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS FOR YOUR INVENTORY ITEMS: If any of your items have 1 or more Assembly (Kit) components, please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_AssemblyComponents_Template.xls

TO IMPORT ITEM SERIAL NUMBERS FOR YOUR INVENTORY ITEMS: If any of your items have 1 or more Assembly (Kit) components, please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_SerialNumbers_Template.xls

TO UPDATE (RE-IMPORT) YOUR INVENTORY LEVELS AND COSTS: If your inventory items and inventory levels are imported on a particular date and then need to be updated x days later to reflect the latest inventory levels and costs, you will need to supply a file with the item number, quantity in stock, cost, etc.  Please refer to the notes file and template entitled @OSImport_InventoryItemList_QtyAndCostUpdate_Template.xls

*** NOTE: Rows highlighted in Yellow may require unique/key values from another table.  For example, a GL account field will require the unique ID of the account stored in the Chart of Accounts field.  In this example, if your Chart of Accounts are being imported as well we may be able to translate the Account # with the unique GL Account ID.  On the other hand, again using this example, if the Chart of Accounts where entered by hand in OneSource and the Account Number assigned to each account number is different than those identified in the GL Account row in this sheet, such as the Default Expense Account, you will need to determine the Unique GL Account ID and enter the ID by hand into the column in the exported data before sending to OneSource for the data conversion.

 

*** NOTE: In order to provide the most user friendly Field/Column names, the Field Mapping Spreadsheet Column Names do not always match with the actual table field names in OneSource.  ***
