Labeling your Excel fields

When you are ready to import, the easiest way to do this is to label your Excel fields with the same names that CostGuard uses in the database. If your Vendor can do this for you great! If not you can do it.

Sample Excel Invoice

Matching the fields from your Excel file to the CostGuard Receipt Import screen

The New Cost from your invoice will now update the current cost on the Main tab of the inventory item. Remember, the new cost is the cost per item:

Match and Map the fields from your spreadsheet to the fields in the CostGuard Database

Click Load Column Names. This brings in the column names on your Excel Spreadsheet.

Any names that match exactly will display in the Current Mappings box.

To add field names highlight the field name in the Spreadsheet box, then highlight the matching name in the Database box

Once you are sure all your fields match save them for the next time you import from this Vendor by clicking Save Settings.

When your fields match Click Import.
