You
can export your data from inFlow Inventory so that it can be accessed in other
programs like Microsoft Excel. inFlow
allows you to export your Sales Order, Purchase Order, Product, Customer, Vendor,
and Inventory data. Deactivated data
will not be exported. If you also wish
to export these entities, you should reactivate them first in inFlow.
Exporting
the Product type will export the product information like its name,
description, price, etc. Exporting the
Inventory type will export the information about how much stock you have for
each product and where. This is split
into two since inFlow allows you to keep inventory for a given product in
multiple places.
Exporting
Sales and Purchase orders will export the main contents of the order, but not
the order processing information like how much has been shipped or received. This will export all orders that have not yet
been cancelled.
To
export your data:
- From the File menu, select the Export option.
- Under Exporting Type, select the type of
entities to export.
- Click Browse, and select a location and
file name to save the exported data.
- Click Next to export your data.
The
data will be exported in the widely accepted CSV (Comma Separated Value)
formatted, which can be opened by Microsoft Excel and any other text editing
programs. Unfortunately, Excel does not currently
support Unicode in CSV format, so if you work with international languages,
you'll need to use another program to handle the exported data from
inFlow.
