====== Delete Inventory Routine - Import from File ======
{{:import_from_file.jpg|}}

<note>
The concept was the user could vie a list of parts in the Inventory Report Designer, export them to a file, adjust the file as necessary, and then import the file into the Delete Inventory Routine and delete the uploaded items. The feature currently supports text-files only. 

When importing items from a text file there needs to be a column with "UNIQUE" in the title. Optionally, there can also be a column called "DELETE"</note>


----
===== Requirement for the import =====

  - as stated above, column UNIQUE must be present
  - also, the file must be a "TEXT".

==== Steps ====
  - run DESIGN INVENTORY REPORT with columns UNIQUE, CATEGORY & PARTNO
  - export into an Excel File or Spreadsheet
  - Clean up the file for unwanted lines like the TOTAL at the very bottom of the report, etc.
  - Highlight everything "COLUMNS & ROWS" 
  - Set everything to TEXT, see sample below.
