Importing Existing Containers

Overview

This article outlines the process to import existing Storage Containers from your warehouse or previous software system, into Supermove's Storage Module. We highly recommend reading over the Importing Storage Customers into Supermove article before following the steps below. 

Getting Started

1. The steps below walk through the bulk upload process for storage containers. Please contact [e-mail] to learn more about Storage!

2. Reach out to your implementation or customer success manager and get a copy of the "Customer List & Container Mapping" spreadsheet and make sure you've completed the

3. Confirm that Warehouse (Names) and Container Types have been set up in Storage Settings: see Storage Settings (Warehouse & Container Types)

4. Copy the Warehouse Names and Container Types into the template as a reference

5. For each Container, set the Container Type and Warehouse (these should match exactly the way it’s typed in Storage Settings, hence using what you copied from the previous step to reduce human error)

5. Make sure the CSV file doesn’t have any extra/blank rows, this could cause an error when uploading

7. Delete any empty rows

8. There is conditional formatting for the Container name column to ensure there are no duplicates. No highlighted cells mean you are most likely good to upload

 9. Coordinates:

• Coordinates are optional but recommended
• Note that the template has a space character (” “) entered into each of the coordinates’ cells, this is to ensure the fields don’t appear as “NaN” when bulk uploaded - make sure that any empty coordinate cells have a space character entered
• Make sure Warehouse and Container Type Names match exactly in the CSV (Case Sensitive!) to the ones created in Supermove, otherwise a mismatch may cause issues with uploading

Steps to Import

1. Navigate to Warehouse Name(s) and Container Type Name in Storage Settings

• Add Warehouse Names and copy the Warehouse names into the CSV (see Step 2)
• Add Container Types and copy the Container Type Names into the CSV (see Step 2

Note: Warehouse Names and Container Types listed in the CSV much match the name set up in Supermove otherwise those containers won’t upload and you will get an error.

2. Complete the "Customer List & Container Mapping" csv tab titled "STEP 1: CONTAINER LIST"

• Fields must match the following columns in the following order. Fields with (*) are required:
  • Container Type*
  • Warehouse Name*
  • Container Name*
  • X Coordinate
  • Y Coordinate
  • Z Coordinate
  • Notes

3. Navigate to the Storage Module and select Containers

4. Click the + Add Containers Button and select Import via CSV

5. Select the completed CSV File and click Upload

6. Warehouses should now show containers

Note: We recommend working with [e-mail] to review your template before uploading. There is no way to undo the upload once complete
