Overview

Using the eCMS product import, you can flag a large number of products as exempt from inventory control at once. This is the same as checking the Inventory Control Exempt checkbox in the admin.

File Setup

  1. Open a new worksheet in Excel.
  2. In the top row, put these two fields (naming must be exact and is case-sensitive):
    • SKU
    • IsInventoryExempt
  3. In the SKU column, list out your eCMS SKU codes for the items you want to exempt from inventory control (make sure the case is correct).
  4. In the next column over, put TRUE (all caps).
    • (If for some reason you want to remove the inventory control exemption from a product that currently has it, put FALSE in the product's row instead.)
  5. Click File->Save As... and select Comma-delimited values.
    • Click Yes to any prompts that come up.

Importing to eCMS

  1. Inside the admin, open Inventory->Product Import.
  2. Change the Type to comma-delimited in the top section of the page.
  3. Enter your address in the Email Notification field.
  4. Click the Submit button at the end of the top section.
  5. You should receive an email in a few minutes informing you that the import has been processed.
