How to Import Product Bundles via file [Step-by-step guide]

The most effective way to add product bundles to techOMS is by using the import feature. This guide walks you through the process.

As best practice, we strongly suggest you download the current product bundles as indicated in How to Export Product Bundles as a CSV file [Step-by-step guide] and  use it as a template for your import.

NOTE: Make sure that you are operating at the right Vendor/Warehouse beforehand.

WARNING: Each file can contain up to 500,000 records. Going over this will cause data issues.

NOTE:  The system supports comma (,), semicolon (;), and tab as delimiters. The only supported quotation mark character is double quote (").

WARNING: Importing a file overwrites the current product bundle list. Bundles not included in the new file will lose their bundle status and remain as regular SKUs.

A backup of the previous bundle structure is automatically generated before import; you will be prompted to restore it in Step 4, if needed. This will roll back to the previous state.

WARNING: Both parent and child SKUs must already exist in techOMS before importing. The import process does not create the parent SKU. 

To import product bundles:

1. Click Products from the left menu under the Inventory section.

2. Press Maintenance and click on Import Product Bundles.

3. Click on the Files field and select the file.

4. Press Import Product Bundles.

NOTE: You can download the canonical template file in techOMS Canonical Import Files [Information]. 

Alternatively, you can export your current product bundles list by following How to Export Product Bundles as a CSV file [Step-by-step guide] and use it as a template for your import. This is useful for bulk updates or for building a new import file based on existing data.
