Re: Error during CSV Inventory Import

Hello Tom Moulton,

Will you have a look at this. I guess you wrote this module, right?

Re: Error during CSV Inventory Import

It looks like you are missing a column:

ITEM;ITEM_CODE;STOCK_ID;Description;Category;units;dummy;MB_FLAG;Currency;Price;

Where Item_Code = STOCK_ID of the item.


You have the STOCK_ID missing

I think for the most part ITEM_CODE == STOCK_ID, these are used in the 'item_codes' table

Also line 52 of import_items.php has a problem it should be:

function get_dimension_by_name($name) {
    if ($name == '') return 0;

it was

    if ($name = '') return 0;

If you are using dimensions, it seems that the 'dummy' field before MB_FLAG is where you can put a dimension

Let me know if this fixes you up

Re: Error during CSV Inventory Import

Quick question on this though, is it possible to add my cost to the same csv to import that as well?

Re: Error during CSV Inventory Import

Thank you guys for the help.  After getting the first import to work we are switching to using the BUY option to import for our next update.

I was wondering if it will read a Category column if I add one into it.
