Adding supplies to your Allmoxy instance
Learn the two methods for adding supplies to your instance, and updating existing supply items
Manually add supplies
Import supplies
Update existing supplies
Method 1: Adding Individual Supplies Manually
For adding just one or two new supplies, the manual method is your best bet. Navigate to Supplies in the top nav bar ➡️ Supplies. Select Add Item.
When creating a new supply, you'll need to fill in several key details:
Basic Information:
- Give your supply a clear, descriptive name
- Choose the appropriate piece size (board ft, pack, each, etc.)
- Add a part number if you use internal part numbers for tracking
- Write a helpful description that will make sense to your team
Organization: Use Tags to group multiple supplies together. Tags are especially helpful when you have different sizes or variations of the same supply type.
Vendor Information: You can assign one or multiple vendors to each supply item. Keep in mind that vendors need to be set up as companies with contacts that have the Vendor role assigned. Once your vendors are created, simply select them from the dropdown menu in the supply item. You can also reference the vendor's part number and set their price for one piece size of the supply.
Inventory Tracking: Use the location settings to specify where this supply item lives in your physical inventory. This helps with organization and stock management.
Want to make this supply available for sale in your Allmoxy catalog? Just check the box! Once you do, you'll see additional options for:
- Organizing the item within your catalog structure
- Setting a weight (useful for shipping calculations)
- Setting your sale price
- Making the product company-exclusive
- Making it available for B2B customers
- Choosing which output pages display the item
Method 2: Bulk Import for Multiple Supplies
Planning to add several supplies, or maybe even hundreds? The Import tool is definitely your friend here! Navigate to the ⚙️ ➡️ Import to get started.
Select the Supplies Import Template, which automatically downloads a CSV template. This template includes columns for all the supply information you might need, including vendor details, pricing information, and location data.
This method saves tons of time when you're setting up your inventory or adding products from a new supplier. Just fill out the template with your supply information and import it all at once!
Supplies imported more than once will create duplicate supplies instead of updating. We highly recommend testing the supply import function with a single supply first, then a small group of supplies, before importing all of your supplies (keeping in mind that the already-imported supplies need to be removed from the csv before being imported again).
Update Existing Supplies
Need to make changes to supplies that are already in your system? Head over to Supplies ➡️ Supply Updater. This tool lets you modify existing supply information without having to recreate items from scratch.
The Supply Updater is perfect for things like price changes, vendor updates, or location modifications across multiple items.
Quick Tip: Start with the manual method to get comfortable with all the supply fields and options. Once you understand how supplies work in Allmoxy, the bulk import process will make much more sense!
