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):

[object Object]

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

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

  • Warehouse scanning

  • External sales channels

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

Step 4 Check your input

Always verify:

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