Using Saved Templates
Apply saved templates to speed up pricelist imports.
Using a Template
When uploading a file:
- Upload the file
- Click "Use Template" button
- Select the template from the dropdown
- Verify the mappings look correct
- Continue with import
Auto-Detection
Pricelist Heaven can automatically detect which template to use based on:
- Column headers matching
- Column count
- Supplier
If auto-detection finds a match, you'll see: "✓ Detected template: [Template Name]"
You can still change to a different template or map manually.
When Templates Don't Match
If the file format has changed:
- New columns: Map the new columns, others use template
- Missing columns: Fields without matching columns show as unmapped
- Different order: Column order doesn't matter, matching is by header name
Updating vs. Creating New
If the supplier's format changed slightly:
- Small changes: Update the existing template
- Major changes: Create a new template
Template Not Working?
Check Column Headers
Templates match by column header name. If your supplier changed headers (e.g., "Price" → "Prijs"), update the template.
Check File Format
Templates are specific to CSV or Excel. Don't use an Excel template for CSV files.
Re-map Manually
You can always skip the template and map manually.
