Frequently Asked Questions

What if I try to import items to my cart or quote from a spreadsheet but the import is unsuccessful?

An error message will show and cite the reason(s) the import failed.

• The import will fail if the spreadsheet is in the wrong file type, is larger than 2 MB, or contains more than 100 line items.
• Invalid entries, invalid quantities, unavailable SKU/VPNs, and disallowed items will also prevent the spreadsheet from importing successfully.
• If one or more VPNs matched multiple products, you will be prompted to select a SKU number for each multiple-match entry.
• Once you have corrected all errors, resubmit the entire spreadsheet.

Can I import items to my carts or quote from a spreadsheet?

Yes, you can import up to 100 items from an Excel or CSV spreadsheet:

1. Go to the Cart Details or Quote Details page.
2. Click Import from Spreadsheet.
3. Click Browse and select the spreadsheet, then click Import.

Both Ingram and non-Ingram items can be imported to a quote, but only Ingram items can be imported to a basket.
