Importing material catalogues

Note: Currency and terminology may differ depending on your region.

FramR offers automatic catalogue updates for a number regions.

However, you can import your own or other supplier catalogues into FramR.

Catalogues can be imported to a Supplier you added.

To import the catalogues, go to Stock/Suppliers/[your supplier] and click on Import [catalogue type].


There's a few simple guidelines to follow to ensure your catalogue imports correctly.

Your catalogue data needs to be in a CSV file format.


Each column must have a Header Name. These Header Names are Case sensitive and must not contain spaces. We have provided these Header names for each catalogue type below.

Each column must have a header mame.

Each code must be unique among those you use and also different from any supplier codes already on the system. Duplicate codes will not get added to the system.

Each code must be unique.

Rows must have data in every column.

There must be data in every column of each row.

ItemCost is net price (before sales tax) and must not contain a currency symbol.

To differentiate Chop and Assembled moulding codes from linear metre codes, we recommend appending the codes with the following:

Assembled
/AS

For pre-cut glazing codes we recommend appending them with the following:

Pre-Cut
/PC
