    Doing an import

    1. Create an export of your item data in CSV format.
    2. Create an import template for the CSV import based on the table shown above. Please read Creating import templates in the portal to learn how to create an import template for item data. Above all, make sure that all mandatory fields are linked to a column in your CSV file or have a default value.
    3. In the FFN Portal (Go to JTL-Fulfillment Network), go to Data exchange > Import.
    4. Click on the Direct import button. The dialogue Direct import opens.
    1. Under Import template, select the template you created for this item import.
    2. Under Select import file, click Browse and select your CSV file.
    3. Select Start import. The import is now carried out. You will then find your items here: My operations > Items.
