Importing Items from Excel - Include Extended Text?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello team!

I have a quick question about importing new inventory items using the Excel -> RapidStart -> New Configuration Packages method. Is it possible to import new items while creating an extended text for the items at the same time? Or does the extended text need to be added manually afterward?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

    As mentioned by Marcell, you may add "Extended Text Header" and "Extended Text Line" tables to your rapid start package.

    Hi Jburdine,

    You can import the extended texts after the items if you add the Extended Text Header (Table 279) and Extended Text Line (Table 280) to your rapid start package.

    You need to make sure that the relationship between the extended text headers and items are correct so the value of the "No." field should be the Item No. and the "Table Name" should be Item.
