Importing overview and supported objects

Importing lets you move your existing records into Fiddle from a spreadsheet instead of entering them by hand. The Import app handles one record type at a time.

What you can import

Object	Notes
Inventory items	SKUs, descriptions, units, and starting stock
Customers	Companies, contacts, and billing details
Suppliers	Vendors and their contact information
Supplier pricing	Per-item costs tied to a supplier
Sales orders	Open orders with their line items
Locations & item types	Reference data items depend on

Import in dependency order

Some records reference others, so order matters. Import each level before the records that point to it:

1. Locations and item types
2. Inventory items
3. Customers and suppliers
4. Supplier pricing and sales orders

Importing out of order causes “record not found” errors — for example, supplier pricing can’t attach to an item that hasn’t been imported yet.

How a single import works

1. Open the Import app and pick a record type.
2. Download that type’s template and fill it in.
3. Upload, map columns, preview, and run.
