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.

Explanation of optional fields

**Label **The commercial name of the product. This is what users see in overviews and order lines.

**Barcodes **Here you add one or more EAN/GTIN codes. Important for:

• Warehouse scanning

• External sales channels

• POS

**Slug **The technical URL identifier of the product. Mostly used in frontend or channel integrations.

**MPN **Manufacturer Part Number. Important for marketplaces and technical products.

Always use a valid currency (e.g. EUR).

**HS Code **Customs code for international shipping. Used in export documents and shipping integrations.

Step 4 Check your input

Always verify:

• Are cost price and currency correct?

• Are barcodes unique?

Note: incorrect identifications can impact scanning, sales channels, and reporting.

• The system validates the rows.

• Any errors are shown per row.
