There are six choices available in Plexis POS that allows for the importing of
your existing inventory. The easiest method is to have your inventory in an Excel
spreadsheet prior to sending the information to the Plexis POS inventory database.

Data Field Names and Types for Excel. (example using Plexis POS Import Type 5):

or remove leading and trailing zeros
No other fields or cells must be present. Remove all extranious cells.
The Excel file must now be saved as MS-DOS CSV. Example: "Items.txt"
Output Example:
