How can I upload my product master data to the supplier portal?

As a supplier you can upload your product master data via Excel file. During the upload an automatic data check takes place, which gives you feedback within a few seconds.

To start the product upload process, click on Import (top right).

The process includes the following phases: Upload, data check, product preview, import and finish.

Upload

In the first step, click on Browse and select the desired Excel file. Then click on Upload to start the process.

Please note: In this beta version it is only possible to upload Excel files.

Data check

During the automatic data check it will be checked if the content of the xls-file meets the requirements of the import or if there are incompatibilities.

In case of incompatibilities, the columns are marked red, and an info message appears.

You also have the possibility to customize the header by clicking on the arrow in the respective cell. A drop-down list with all your defined headings will then appear here.
