.CSV Files

.CSV Files

In order to import a spreadsheet into SNAP you must save it as a .CSV (comma separated value) file. When working in a spreadsheet go to "Save As" and select the .csv file type and save the file as that file type. Make sure the file is closed before importing it in SNAP. If it is open, the import will fail.

It is important to note that with a .CSV file, cell data should NOT include any commas in the name of items or descriptions. Cell text should be numerical, alphabetic, or any punctuation–excluding commas.

 

 

Included are links to some templates for importing different data types into Extensiv Warehouse Manager via Snap. Be sure to save them as a .CSV file before importing them:

Bins

  • Click here to download the Bins Template.  
  • Bins are the locations in the warehouse that product will live, either momentarily (cross-docking or process bins) or long term.
  • The Grey fields are required in the CSV upload. All other fields are optional.
  • When using the template, if a column is not being used, you can delete the column from the CSV upload or simply leave the cell blank if no information will be input into the cell.
