Product import rebuilt, plus bulk create and edit
Product import reads more files correctly and shows an editable sheet before saving. New bulk create and bulk edit pages change many products at once.
What changed
Import
- Finds the header row by itself and understands column names in English, Urdu and Roman Urdu.
- Reads numbers written in common local formats.
- Shows the data in an editable sheet before anything is saved, with paste from Excel and undo.
- Phones can be imported with an IMEI column.
- Import history lets you open an earlier import, edit it, fix rows and import again.
Products that already exist
For each existing product you can set stock to the file's figure, add the file's figure to current stock, or skip it. Re-importing now sets stock to the file value by default; before, existing products were skipped. Every stock change is posted as a stock adjustment, so it shows in the product's history.
Bulk create and bulk edit
Two new pages add many products at once, or change prices, stock and other fields for many products in one sheet.
Permissions
Changing stock through import or bulk edit needs the stock adjustments permission.
