    ​

  2. Click the three-dots above the customer information section.
    ​


    Then select Batch Sale.
    ​

  3. The Import Setup Guide will open.
    ​


    Download the Excel Template for Batch Sale, Fill out the template with your sales information.

  4. Enter the following details.
    ​


    Within your Sales Import File, you will see the following in the header:

    • Sale ID.
      Sale Number to distinguish how many lines (items) are in the same sale.

    • Sale Date.
      Date of Transaction.

    • Item Id/Item Number/Product ID.
      Item Information relevant to sale.

    • Quantity Ordered.
      Quantity ordered of each item.

    • Selling Price.
      Selling price of each item.

    • Tax.
      Tax on the item level.

    • Paid Amount.
      Total Amount Paid on the item.

    • Person ID.
      The customer’s name or ID.

    • Location ID.
      Usually “1,” unless multiple locations are being tracked.

    • Payment Type.
      The method of payment used, for example:

      • Cash

      • Credit Card

      • Gift Card

      • Check.

  5. Click Choose File, select your Excel sheet.
    ​


    Then click Save to import the sales into the system.

Note:

  • Sale Date must be in the format “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss” and saved as Text. If the date is not in text format, it will not be correctly associated with the sale.

  • Break up sales into smaller files of 2,000–2,500 lines to prevent errors.
    When splitting the file, make sure the break occurs between different Sale IDs, not within the same sale.

  • Test the import first with 1–2 sales to confirm that your file contains the correct information before performing a bulk import.
