Stocktaker Import – Shopfront

If you've had an external stocktaker come in and stocktake your store you can import their CSV file into Shopfront to update your costs and inventory levels.

Note: You'll need the Perform Stocktake permission to access the Stocktaker Import.

When you have received the CSV file and are ready to import the stocktake:

Open the Menu
Select Stock
Select More
Select Stocktaker Import

Select the Stocktaker's file, it can contain the following columns:

Column	Description	Required
name	The name or description of the product	No
barcode	The barcode of the product	Yes
cost	The single cost of the product (inclusive of tax)	No
quantity	The quantity scanned	Yes

Note: Column order does not matter but the column name is case sensitive and cost can contain the currency symbol ($ and €)

If you have multiple Outlet's you'll then need to select the Outlet the file is for.

You'll also have to select whether you wish to zero all other inventory (by toggling the Zero All Inventory option) and whether the file should Override or Add to the current stock on hand.

Once you've configured your settings, press Import.

Shopfront will now process the file and provide you with a notification when it is complete. Once you receive the notification click on it to view the results of the stocktake and which products were match. If we could not match a product it will be highlighted in Green which you can then associate to an existing product or create a new one.

When you've finished checking your stocktake you can then apply it! Shopfront will apply the Stocktake in the background and notify you when it is complete.
