Importing a Core Selection

  • Updated

Importing a Core Selection file allows you to import your own prices for codes that exist in the catalogue.  You are only able to import one CSV file for a catalogue at any given time, or you can receive one from Winner Support.

 

You can import as many core selection files as required if you use the extension Catalogue customisation (CMC: Catalogue Maintenance Component).  Winner's global regions support this extension in differing ways due to catalogues used.  It is advisable to contact Winner Support to discuss if this is the correct option for your company.

The following steps will guide you through the importation process without Catalogue customisation.

 

Prepare the .csv file

Important! When inputting purchase or sales prices into the spreadsheet they should be entered excluding VAT as this will be added on automatically on import.

  1. Create an Excel spreadsheet listing the articles and price.  It should be formatted as such:

    Column A = The code reference to the existing article code in the intended catalogue.
    Column B = The customised purchase price.

  2. Save the Excel spreadsheet as a CSV (Comma delimited) .csv file in the Save as drop-down selection.

 

Select the catalogue

  1. At project level, click on Register in the menu bar.

  2. Select Catalogues... .

Confirm decimal place

    Clicking Yes will make the price for U40-3 1.01
    Clicking No will make the price for U40-3 101.00

    Take your time to check this and select your option.
