### Copying the information into the template

Once you’ve downloaded the template file, you can add/copy your data into the CSV. Mandatory fields are marked with a double asterisk (\*\*) prefix.

* The file must be a CSV (Comma-separated values) file. The name of your file must end with csv.
* Make sure you don’t change any of the column headings from row 1 in the template – these are needed for the file to import correctly.
* All date fields will accept the MM-DD-YYYY format.
* Be mindful of any leading zeros in your data, some spreadsheet software will trim them automatically without notifying you. This can be resolved by ensuring your columns have correct formatting.
* Sometimes long numbers (UPC, etc.) are formatted as scientific notation. Be sure to change the formatting on this data to display these long numbers correctly.
* Make sure all the locations and items belong to the correct Store.

If you’re importing more than 5,000 records, we recommend you split up the file.
