To import inventory from the File menu

You can import all or selected inventory from the File menu in Monsoon Marketplace by using either a default or custom template.

Important: We recommend testing your import file by first importing it in training (test) mode before importing it in production (live) mode. On the Home tab, click Switch to Training mode, import your file, correct any import errors, then test the import again. When the import is successful in training mode, on the Home tab, click Switch to Production mode, then import the file.

On the File menu, click Import Inventory.
In the Inventory Import dialog box, browse to the location of the file you want to import, and then select the file.
Select an import template—Auto-Detect or a custom import template created by you (recommended).
Select a classification to apply to the items in the import file. When you import to add new (never before received) inventory and your file includes the Classification column, any classification you select will only apply to items in the file that do not have a value in the Classification column. When you import to modify, selecting a classification has no effect; the selected classification is not added to existing inventory. To modify classification for previously received inventory, import the Classification column using the m or modify operator.
Select the Amazon marketplace catalog the ASINs in the import file will match against. Your Amazon home market is select by default. For more information about the home market, see Amazon Home Market.
Select a condition to apply to the items in the import file. When you import to add new (never before received) inventory, the condition you select will only apply to items in the import file that don't have a value in the Condition column. When you import to modify, selecting a condition has no effect; the selected condition is not added to existing inventory. To modify condition for previously received inventory, import the Condition column using the m or modify operator.
Click Next to scan your import file for errors.
If errors are found, click No to cancel the import, correct the errors in your file, then import again.
If no errors are found, click Yes to continue.
After you click Yes, a dialog box opens confirming that the import will begin shortly.
How quickly an import file processes depends on its size and the speed of your server. A very small file can take less than minute while a very large file can take over an hour. No matter the size of your file, the import process runs in the background so you can continue to work. When an import is complete, a confirmation message displays on the Event Viewer tab.
