Inventory | Inventory CSV Import & Export

Bulk-update stock levels and bin locations by CSV — the fastest way to true-up a warehouse or migrate stock data. Enterprise toolkit.

Stock changes at warehouse speed, not keyboard speed. The CSV round-trip — export, edit in a spreadsheet, import — is how bulk inventory work gets done. Available on the Enterprise plan.

The pattern

  1. Export the inventory CSV from the inventory area: one row per item per location, with quantities and bin columns.

  2. Edit in your spreadsheet — new quantities after a count, bin assignments, corrections.

  3. Import the same file back. Rows apply to their items and locations; the report tells you what changed and what failed.

The two big use cases

  • Bin assignment at scale — the Bin name column round-trips: export, fill in the warehouse's bin map, import. Hundreds of items binned in minutes (the picking setup needs this — see Inventory | Picking & Cycle Counts).

  • Count true-up — after a full stocktake, apply the corrected quantities in one import rather than item-by-item edits.

Tips

  • Never hand-retype the file's identifier columns — edit only the quantity/bin columns and leave keys intact.

  • Import a ten-row test file first, as with all CSV work — see Migrating to Orbit | CSV Import Troubleshooting.
