Data Import: Importing Images via the Stock Importer

Import -> Stock data Importer -> Create New Stock Records -> Find Images

This document describes how the BMS attempts to match images with your imported data.

The BMS attempts to match any

• [IMAGE_NAME] column values
• [SupRef] values held against Stock Items
• [SupRef] values held against Price Splits

with file names located under your [start point] directory structure defined at the point of invoking the matching process.

during the import process.

1. The User chooses a starting directory
2. The system lists all files located under the starting directory
3. Attempts to match using the following logic: Filename Like "supref*"
4. Matches are displayed in the user feedback panel, and the matched file is:

• Resized according to a value held in x_config: "ImageSizeDefault"
• Copied to the nominated IMAGES folder. Defined in settings  and x_config: CustomerImageDirectory

Note:

• All image record data linked to stock items that form part of a search are removed prior to the search starting.
• Data on disk is not modified
