Bulk adding Items

Posted on by

We have thousands of items in an Excel file and want to add them to the Items table in Business Central.  What are our options/the best way of doing so?

During the process, it would be nice if Business Central could generate Item No.s automatically, because it seems that if you have to manually specify item numbers beforehand, you run the risk of accidentally overwriting any items recently added by another user.

Whatever the method, it would have to work when Business Central is in operation and the Items table is not empty.
