Update Product Identifiers

Manual: Update Product Identifiers via Bulk Action (OMS/WMS)

With this bulk action, you can update multiple product identifications and basic product data at once within afosto.app (OMS/WMS).

Use this when you want to:

• Add or change barcodes.
• Correct MPN or brand.
• Add HS codes or country of origin.
• Update cost prices.
• Adjust slugs or categories.

Step 1 Go to the bulk action

Log in to afosto.app.
Go to Processes.
Open Bulk actions.
Choose Update product identifications.
You will now see a spreadsheet input screen.

Step 2 Unique name

• Give your bulk action a unique reference.
• Click Next to continue.

Step 3 Paste your data into the spreadsheet

You can copy and paste your data directly from Excel or Google Sheets.
The following columns can be used (* = required):

What is required?

SKU (required)*

The unique product code within Afosto.

Important:

• The SKU must already exist.
• Spelling must match exactly.
• All updates are linked based on this SKU.
• SKU is always leading — not the product name.
