Using a Downloaded Text File for a Text File Upload

You can use a text file previously downloaded from Catalogue (TFD file) as the basis for a text file upload (TFU).

There are two things to keep in mind:

The TFD file does not include an action column.

To use the TFD file as a TFU file, you need to add a column to the CSV text file that specifies the action you want to perform on each GTIN in the file (insert, update, replace, or delete).

In the header row of the CSV text file, as the first entry, add the word action.

In every subsequent row of data, specify the action you want to perform on that row’s GTIN data (insert, update, replace, or delete)

You can add the column and corresponding information in the CSV text file or in the Excel file (before you save it as a CSV text file). Then upload the CSV text file using the UI.

For more information about creating a properly formatted CSV text file, see:

“CSV Text File Format Rules for Catalogue� .

“Creating a CSV Text File from an MS Excel Spreadsheet� .

The TFD file includes three columns that will not be used when the file is used as a TFU file. The following three columns are ignored:
