inFlow’s reorder settings are a great way to make sure you always have enough products in stock.

If you have a lot of products, importing is a great way of updating all your products with reorder settings in bulk.

Export a reorder settings template CSV

It’s recommended that you import product details before importing reorder settings. Export a reorder settings template from inFlow by going to:

1. Main Menu> Export.
2. Select Reorder settings, then click Export.
3. Save the CSV to your computer.

Note: You can repeat the steps above to export a Product details CSV. This will give you a list of your product names that you can copy and paste to the reorder settings template CSV.

Editing the reorder settings CSV

1. Add your products to the ProductName column.
2. Next, add the location of your products.
3. From here, you can add information to the optional columns.

If you have the same product in multiple locations, add a row for that product for each location. (As seen in the image below)

ProductName and Location should match exactly as you have it in inFlow Inventory; otherwise, the import won’t be able to update your products with the location and reorder settings from your CSV.

If the product names or locations are different at all, inFlow will create a new product or location.

Saving the reorder settings CSV

Save the file as a .csv and not a .xls, etc. If your spreadsheet has any special characters, save it as a UTF-8 CSV.
