All product information to the template file. Below is a breakdown of the types of data that can be imported and their corresponding formats. When finished adding items, save the file, then proceed with importing the template file into Boulevard.
Note: When adding product information to the template file, the column heading names must not be changed for Boulevard to import it properly.
- SKU: Each product (or service) added to invoices requires a unique part number. They can be a combination of alphanumeric characters, but not special characters, and are limited to 8 characters.
- Description: The item description can be up to 40 characters, including spaces and special characters
- Section: Refers to whether the item is retail (1) or a business supply (2) not intended for resale. Specify 1 for retail or 2 for business supply.
- Ideal: Used to specify the preferred on-hand quantity to be kept in stock.
- Taxable: This is a yes-or-no field to specify whether the item or service is taxable.
