Importing Take Inventory Data from 3rd Party

This feature allows you to import a take inventory file from a 3rd party inventory company. Once you import it you can process the take inventory like you normally would in S2k as if you used your own handheld.

3rd party Company Inventory/Audit files must be formatted as per the following specs:

  • Must be submitted in CSV format
  • Contain only the following two columns:
    1. UPC#
    2. Audit count

UPC# formatting

  • Items must be submitted with 12 digit UPC codes
  • If you have any UPC-e items (short codes), they must be converted to full 12 digit format
