PPWR #6 — Bulk import: a dozen ERP files at once

0:02 One product is a good start. But you probably have hundreds, or thousands. No hand-typed spreadsheets or special formats — what's already in your system is enough. We open the file bag and drop in everything at once — here, over a dozen ERP files. Item master data, a customer list, product recipes, material specifications — in Excel, CSV, JSON or XML.

0:34 No need to label them. The app recognises which sheet holds products, recipients or product compositions. After import, you see your register's five pillars. Recipients, products, material categories, material specifications and material suppliers. Each pillar's colour shows how complete the data is, and what needs fixing at the source.

With hundreds of items, the list beats the carousel. Search covers components too — type kubek PP, a PP cup, to see every product using it. A recipe-based product comes with all its parts — cup, lid, tray,

1:30 sleeve and film — each checked separately for material requirements. Bulk import comes with an integrated deployment — costs are in the last chapter.
