Inventory Import: Inventory Attributes

This FAQ will go over importing inventory assembly data in Paradigm. More information on inventory import & export can be found here: Inventory Import & Export

Importing New Inventory Assembly Data

When importing new inventory assembly data, be sure to include the following columns: attribute name (strName), product ID (strLink), and the attribute value (strValue).

When importing, select the “Update existing and add new attribute records.” import option.

Be sure to not include a cntID column when adding new data. Including a cntID will update the existing record that has that ID, more information on that in the next section.

Updating Existing Assembly Data

The easiest way to set up an import sheet is to first export the product IDs you want to make changes to. Be sure to include the cntID column.

Then make the desired changes in the sheet and then import it back into Paradigm. Be sure to choose the “Update existing attribute records only.” option when importing.

Example

A common use case for this is updating attribute values for product ID.

First export the cntID, attribute name, product ID (strLink), and the attribute value columns.

Change the value then import it back into Paradigm.
