Migrating form a bookstore POS

Jul 22, 2009 2 Replies

Does anyone have any suggestions on importing an existing book inventory into Dynamics RMS.? I am going to use the quick import utility but need suggestions on where to put two different products #'s, Author, Publisher, Pub. Date, Binding type and so on. Anyone using RMS @ a bookstore w/ any suggestions would be GREAT!


David, We have a decent sized book store as a client. Here is how they have this information mapped:

-Item Lookup Code: the actual EAN (or ISBN) on the book

-Item Alias: any other product numbers

-SubDescription1: Author

-SubDescription2: Publication Date

-SubDescription3: Binding Type

-Supplier: Publisher

I hope this helps!

Thanks Ryan, that was exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

-- Kind of a sub? to this, did they import their Publisher (Supplier) before or after doing the initial inv. import? This is assuming they used the import utility. Thanks again for the response. Thanks! David D. L.S.B.
