Import data (CSV/XLSX)

Before you start

A CSV or XLSX file with one row per record.

Steps

Click “Import” from the feature you’re importing to (or from Settings → Data Import).
Pick the upload type (e.g., “Supplier–variant links”).
Choose your file.
Map columns to fields. Logistified auto-detects common column names and reuses a saved template’s mapping. For columns it still doesn’t recognize, it can suggest a field using AI — suggested fields are highlighted (hover: “AI suggestion — review before importing”), so check each one and change it if it’s wrong. If suggestions are unavailable, map those columns by hand.
If any mapped column holds dates, choose how they’re written (e.g. DD-MM-YYYY) — you must pick a format before you can continue.
Preview parsed rows. Validation errors are highlighted.
Fix errors (or remove bad rows). Re-preview.
Click Import.

Worked example

Bulk-updating lead times for 200 supplier–variant links. CSV has columns “supplier_id”, “variant_sku”, “lead_time_days”. I map those to the matching Logistified fields, preview, fix two rows that had invalid SKUs, and import.

Common failure modes

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
Column mapping wrong	Auto-detect or an AI suggestion picked the wrong field.	Manually correct each — highlighted fields are AI suggestions worth a second look.
Can’t get past the mapping step	A date column is mapped but no date format is chosen.	Pick a date format (or Custom, with your own pattern) in the mapping step.
Many “duplicate SKU” errors	File has duplicate SKUs.	Dedupe in your spreadsheet first.
Import succeeded but values look unchanged	Mapping was wrong; values went to a different field.	Re-export from Logistified to see what landed where.
