Import a distributor order

The distributor already sent you a document with every part, every quantity and every price on it. Typing that into the system by hand is doing work that has already been done — and it is where cost errors are born.

  1. Pick or create the distributor

    The first time with a new supplier, create it here with its name, contact and phone. From then on it is one click — and each part remembers who it came from, which is what you need the day you claim a warranty.

  2. Choose the store and upload the file

    The invoice as PDF, an Excel, or the order CSV — whichever format they send you. Pick the store where the stock physically arrives, and hit Analyse.

  3. Review before anything is saved

    Nothing touches your inventory yet. You get two piles: to import — lines the system matched with confidence — and to review — lines it is unsure about. Read the second pile. That is the whole point of this step.

  4. Fix what it did not recognise

    A part that is not in your catalog yet, or a SKU written differently than last time. Match it once and the system learns it — the next order from that distributor comes in cleaner than this one.

  5. Commit it

    Now the stock goes in, with its cost from the invoice and its supplier SKU attached. From here the part behaves like any other: it can be hooked to a repair, sold, or counted in an audit.
