### Creating New Product Bundles via Import

Here’s how to create or update your product bundles (BOMs) via import:

1. Go to the **Products** tab → **BOMs**.
2. Click **Import / Export** and select **Import**.
3. Click **Choose File**.
4. Select the CSV file you want to upload from your computer. Click **Open** and then **Load File**.
5. Before uploading, match the columns in the pop-up with the columns in your CSV file. See this guide for help with column mapping.
6. Finish by clicking **Import** — your BOMs will now be uploaded.

When creating new product bundles via import, include the following columns:

- **Number**: The unique number of the product bundle. *(Required)*
- **Product Name**: The name of the product bundle. *(Required)*
- **Barcode**: The barcode for scanning the product bundle.
- **Description**: Internal description of the product bundle. Descriptions on bundle lines will be taken from the products.

Once your file is complete, save it as a **CSV UTF-8** file and upload it to Rackbeat via **Import**.  
![image-png-Aug-08-2025-01-42-48-9671-PM](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-08-2025-01-42-48-9671-PM.webp?width=262&height=104&name=image-png-Aug-08-2025-01-42-48-9671-PM.webp)

If the required columns are not filled in, the import will fail.

### Importing Product Bundle Lines

Once product bundles are created, you can import the underlying products in the bundle.

To import bundle lines, fill in the following columns in your sheet:

- **Product Bundle Number**: The unique number identifying your product or BOM. *(Required)*
- **Product Number**: The product number of the item to be used as a component in the BOM. *(Required)*
- **Quantity**: The number of units of this component needed for the BOM. *(Required)*
- **Line Price**: The sales price of the underlying product. If left blank, the product’s standard sales price will be used.
- **Discount**: Discount in % for the product.

Once your file is complete, save it as a **CSV UTF-8** file and upload it to Rackbeat via **Import → Import Lines**.

### Updating Existing Product Bundles

To update existing product bundles via import:

- Tick the **Update Existing** checkbox.
- Your file must contain the product bundle number and one column for each field you want to update.

The **Product Bundle Number** is the constant that must always be included when importing updates.

**Example:**  
If you want to update the barcode of a product bundle, include these columns:
