Importing Build Items

Question

In our business, we use manually created Build Items instead of Auto-Build Items for various reasons. Some of the transactions for these manually built items take significant time to input, so I was hoping to streamline the process by importing them from an Excel file.

However, I have only found the option to export/import Inventory Adjustments, which does not appear to be the same as Build Items. The inclusion of the Account Number for Inventory Adjustments appears to be the difference.

I noticed that I am unable to export Build Items directly, which further leads me to believe that Build Items and Inventory Adjustments are handled differently. Could you provide guidance or confirm if there is a way to import/export Build Items more efficiently?

I attach a document with two diagrams depicting the screens I am referring to.

Hi LearnerAtMYOB,
&nbsp;
The inventory adjustments account for damaged, revalued, or write-off stocks, while the build feature converts other stocks to another item. The two processes are different. Also, build items are specific to a file, so you cannot export/import them to other files. I understand that you opt out of using auto-build, but it's still the most convenient way of recording build items in the software.&nbsp;

Feel free to post again if you need any other help.
