Migration guide

Import products from Excel or CSV into Posnic

A good import saves days. A messy import creates duplicate items, wrong tax, bad barcodes and stock confusion.

Safe migration steps

  1. Keep one row per sellable item or variant
  2. Use clear item names that cashiers can search
  3. Separate barcode, category, unit, tax, cost and selling price columns
  4. Remove duplicate barcodes before import
  5. Import a small sample first, then the full sheet

Expected result

The product list starts clean, so billing, inventory, purchases and reports are easier from day one.

Do not rush cutover

Run a test day, print receipts, close cash and verify reports before making Posnic the live counter.

Protect old data

Keep a backup/export from the old method so old invoices and balances can be checked later.

Train the closing routine

Billing habits change only when staff know sale, return, correction, payment and day-close rules.
