Importing a price list

How do I import a supplier price list, rate sheet or labour schedule?

Price lists enter the organisation through the Vault import wizard under Price sources. This is not the Templates screen.

What to watch for

  • Import needs the Site Admin or Org Admin role. Without it you will not see Import.
  • Accepted files: CSV, XLSX, or PDF (up to 10 MB).
  • You choose a kind first: Material price book, Rate sheet, or Labour schedule — the review steps differ by kind.
  • Classification and product links need review before Commit import.

1. Open Vault → Price sources

  1. Left rail Vault.
  2. Select Price sources (or /vault?tab=price-sources).
  3. Select Import.

3. Review steps

Step pills can include Upload, Columns, Suppliers, Duplicates, Labour rates, Classify, and Review depending on kind and file.

Typical decisions:

  2. Confirm Import complete and {n} rows imported.
  3. Select Done.
