Item
This page explains the matching and mapping fields that you can use while importing item data and variation data. This page serves purely as a reference and it assumes that you already have a basic understanding of the import tool.

Practical example: Importing new items
Imagine you’re new to PlentyONE and you want to import all of your items and variations at once. How would that work? Take a look at this practical example, which guides you through the process step-by-step. |
1. Matching fields
Table 1 explains the fields that are available for matching item data. During the import, PlentyONE checks if the imported data record already exists based on the matching field.
Matching field | Explanation |
---|---|
Variation ID |
|
Variation number |
|
External variation ID |
|
Barcode |
Select the barcode type from the second drop-down list. |
Item ID |
For variations with attributes, use this field only in combination with attribute selection combination. |
Attribute value selection |
For variations with attributes, use this field only in combination with the item ID. Select the format from the second drop-down list that contains the data of the file. |
Supplier variation number |
2. Mapping fields
This chapter explains the fields that are available for mapping item data and variation data. Use these fields to specify which column of your file corresponds to which data field in your system.
Basic procedure:
-
In your CSV file: Enter a valid import value into a column.
-
In PlentyONE: Assign this column to the appropriate mapping field.
-
After the import: Check the result in the back end.
No mapping field? Default value applies!
If you don’t include a certain piece of information in your CSV file, i.e. if you don’t use a certain mapping field, then your item or variation will be given the default value. |

Note: The availability is a static setting. In other words, the selected availability level does not change, regardless of the actual stock levels. The setting is only relevant if stock availability is not set automatically.
2.7.8. Net purchase price
Enter the net purchase price into the CSV file. Use the same decimal notation as in the import options.
Default value: 0
Permitted import values: Numeric
You can find the result of the import in the back end menu: Item » Edit item » [Open variation] » Tab: Settings » Area: Costs » Entry field: Net purchase price
Note: The purchase price is either calculated automatically or managed manually depending on how the settings were saved in the menu Setup » Stock » Stock » Incoming items.

2.7.9. Moving average purchase price (net)
Enter the net moving average purchase price into the CSV file. Use the same decimal notation as in the import options.
Default value: 0
Permitted import values: Numeric
You can find the result of the import in the back end menu: Item » Items » [Open variation] » Element: Costs » Entry field: Net moving average purchase price
Note: It is recalculated every time stock is booked in. It is calculated from the purchase prices of all stocks that are available for the variation in the warehouse. Go to Setup » Stock » Stock » Incoming items and see which warehouses were activated with the setting Warehouse for moving average price. The moving average purchase price only takes items into account that were booked into one of these warehouses. If no warehouse is active, then no moving average purchase price is calculated.
Item bundles: the moving average purchase price can automatically be calculated based on the bundle components.
2.7.10. Price calculation
Enter a price calculation’s ID into the CSV file. This applies the price calculation to whichever prices were saved for the variation. You can find the price calculation ID in the menu Setup » Setup » Item » Price calculation » [Open price calculation].
Default value: No default value
Permitted import values: Numeric (internal ID)
You can find the result of the import in the back end menu: Item » Edit item » [Open variation] » Tab: Settings » Section: Sales prices
2.7.11. Price calculation UUID
Enter a price calculation’s UUID into the CSV file. This applies the price calculation to whichever prices were saved for the variation.
Tip: You can copy the price calculation UUID. Open the menu Setup » Item » Price calculation » [Open price calculation]. Click on the UUID in the lower left corner. The UUID is copied to the clipboard.
Import the price calculation UUID last:
Imagine your prices are calculated with the following formula: (PurchasePrice + TransportCosts) * 1.07
.
In this case, import the purchase price and transportation costs first and then the price calculation second.
Otherwise PlentyONE won’t have all of the information it needs to correctly calculate the price.
-
Create a mapping, which imports the purchase price and transportation costs.
-
Create another mapping in the same import. Use this one to import the price calculation UUID.
→ The mappings are processed one after the other.
Default value: No default value
Permitted import values: Alpha-numeric
You can find the result of the import in the back end menu: Item » Edit item » [Open variation] » Tab: Settings » Section: Sales prices
One price calculation per variation
Only one price calculation can be linked to a variation. Imagine you’ve already linked a price calculation to a variation. Then you link a second price calculation to the same variation. In this case, the second price calculation would overwrite the first one. Both price calculations can not simultaneously be linked to the variation. Nonetheless, it’s still possible to calculate prices differently, e.g. in the Shop and on Amazon. This is done by adding multiple calculation building blocks to your price calculation. |

Example: In some countries, children’s clothing is taxed differently depending on the size. In this case, it makes sense to save the customs tariff number separately for each variation.
Inheritance: The customs tariff number is automatically passed down from the main variation to the sub-variations. This means:
-
you don’t need to enter customs tariff numbers for your sub-variations if you want them to have the same customs tariff number as the main variation.
-
you’ll need to enter a different customs tariff number for all of the sub-variations that should differ from the main variation.

Background info: PlentyONE can automatically remove variations from the online store if they are no longer in stock.
