Imports individually tracked product instances (serialized units) into Sapera. Rows are matched on the instance Identifier; matched instances are updated and new ones are created. Run Compare first to preview the changes.
1. Select the action in the Action field. 2. Point to your data source – a file (CSV or Excel) or a SQL query. 3. Map the source columns to Sapera's fields in the column mapping (see Source fields below). 4. Run Compare to see what will be created, changed or stay unchanged – without writing to Sapera. 5. Run Update Sapera to perform the import.
Use the Allow create and Allow update parameters to control whether new rows are created and whether existing ones are updated.
Each row is matched on the instance's identifier (Identifier). Matching instances are updated and new ones created.
Each instance belongs to a product (ProductIdentifier) and can carry a serial number and current owner.
Only the instances in your source are processed. Direction: from file/SQL into Sapera.
