Importing Items into a Transaction Using a .CSV File/Inventory Scanner
Getting the .CSV File Ready
Step 1. On the .CSV file make sure you have the item(s) SKU(s) in the first column, and purchase qty in the second column.
Example:
***DO NOT LABEL THE COLUMNS AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE POS TO IMPROPERLY READ THE FILE AND WILL CAUSE AN ERROR PREVENTING IMPORT.
