How to use:

  • To import materials, press the import button and add a CSV or JSON file to the file upload field. Then press the confirm button.

  • It is recommended to export at least one pre-existing material to CSV to ensure the correct format of the CSV file.

Import Behavior:

  • For Materials: When importing, the system checks whether a material already exists by path. If no match is found, it then checks by ERP ID. If a match is found, the existing material is modified, otherwise a new material is created.

  • For Material Classes: When importing, the system checks whether a material class already exists by path. If a match is found, the existing material class is modified, otherwise a new material class is created.
