From other 3rd party POS application, you will need to manually create the .spi format we looking for. The key columns we are interested in are the Barcode (the number generated from scanning the product) and Quantity.
If **Price** is not included we will pull the retail price from the item in imrchnt.

Paste in the values into the Barcode and Quantity columns.
Your Excel file should look like this:
Save the file as a dos.csv
Name the file with date and event name (e.g. 20251205\_warhousesale)
Change the extension in the file name from .csv to .spi
Move over to legacy imrchnt and go to POS \> Function Menu \> Import from ScanPal File
You will see this window:
Find the .spi file you've just created and click the Import button
Once the process has completed you will see this prompt with a report of the Import status
Click ok and all of your items will be brought into the sale on legacy imrchnt.
The 1 item that could not be found is added to the sale as an NOF Service.
This product needs to be identified in your export file and managed in a separate transaction.
