Step 3: Select Type of Import

The third step is to tell the software the type of import you wish to perform.

Choose a type of Import in the Select Type of Import pull down menu. There are six type of imports (mandatory items are in bold):

Stock Information	Stock imports include the Barcode, Description, Location, Quantity, Category, Cost, Sell, Stock Level and eight custom text fields.
Customer Information	Customer imports include Name, Contact, Customer ID, Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Post Code, Phone, E-Mail, Fax and Comments.
Supplier Information	Supplier imports include Name, Contact, Supplier ID, Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Post Code, Phone, E-Mail, Fax and Comments.
Location Information	Location information includes Barcode, Description and Comments.
Purchases Information	Purchases information includes Barcode, Quantity, Location, Supplier Name, Contact, Purchase Order Number and Comments.
Sales Information	Sales information includes Barcode, Quantity, Location, Customer Name, Contact, Invoice Number and Comments.

All of the available data fields that can be imported will be listed in the box below the Select Type of Import pull down menu. The fields within your data file will be listed in each of the pull down menus. The software will make an attempt to match your data file headings to the fields available to be imported.
