Using XMLPORT to import stock balances

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

We are trying to use import a csv of stock data and balances (circa 40,000 items) via XMLPORT. So far we've managed to import stock data and are now attempting to extend 'Item Journals' to import balances. The only issue is that this is taking a very long time (similar to RapidStart) to load from csv on screen and then to post (haven't arrived here yet!). What is the quickest way to import stock balances?

    Configuration Packages, Edit in Excel, Excel Copy and Paste are quite useful for quick and easy way to bulk import.

    When it comes to huge data, XML Port is the way to go.
