Before trying to bulk import data, make sure you have a good understanding of the impacts of each information of the part record. We strongly recommend you read the dedicated page of the user manual and practice over a few examples before you start importing sample data and finally bulk import the entire dataset.

Minimalist import
The smallest set of information you need to import products onto the system is the description. Everything else can be defaulted or automatically generated for the part number. In this case, all you need is a csv file displaying two columns: a section header, and the description column.
Although possible, this will however limit your ability to edit in bulk, as the system will require a stronger identification of the product when updating the records. Which information can either be the part number (code), or the EDI identifier.

Full CSV with section break
The following template document will allow you to bulk import parts, and their associated revisions, characteristics and foreign descriptions. It is split in sections, each one starting with the name of the section which you will need to repeat on each line of the file. It is comma separated so make sure you are not using commas in your comments and texts.
The mandatory information are identified by an asterisk (*).
