Product and discount details can be exported from SliQ Invoicing
and Quoting into a file and then imported into a copy of SliQ
installed on a different PC.
When the file is imported, the details are MERGED
with those already held within SliQ.
|
Note: The
purpose of the import/ export is to allow separate, installed
copies of SliQ to have the same lists of products, e.g. if two
Sales people are independently invoicing customers and adding new
details to their own copies of SliQ.
|
To import data, make sure the Products & Discounts tab is
selected and press the Import button as shown in the following
picture.
A File Open dialog will be
displayed.
Find and select the file you wish to import and press
Open.
Explanation of
Merged Data
When SliQ imports a set of product and discount details it
merges the data in the imported file with the details already held
within SliQ.
When the data is merged:-
| 1.
|
If the imported file contains details for products or discounts
not already present in SliQ, the details are added. |
| 2.
|
If the imported file contains details for items already present
in SliQ, the existing details are overwritten, e.g. the product
description and price are overwritten. This will not affect any existing invoices or
quotes until the invoice or quote containing an updated
product is edited and the product reselected for an invoice
item. |
When SliQ imports data, the imported data is taken as a match
for an existing product or discount if the item names match. SliQ
will ignore any difference in case between the names. This is shown
in the following table:
|
Imported Name
|
Name Already in SliQ
