you are using Power Gx in the Cloud view additional instructions here. You must specify the Pathname of the file that contains
the Deal. The file may be in CSV (Comma Separated Values)
or TXT (Tab Delimited) format. The first column must contain the

the third column must contain the Quantity. Please Note that
the Quantity column is optional and is only intended for those Deals
where Quantity Price breaks are needed. You may enter the pathname

If any errors are encountered then these will be displayed on the screen (eg.
Product does not exist), however should the import file contain too many errors
to display on the screen then a log file will be created and the errors will be
written there. If this occurs you will be informed of the log files
location. If the test is successful then a sample of lines from the file
will be displayed in the grid provided and the Test File button
will change to Import. Please scrutinise this before
moving to the next step.
11. Click on the Import button to import the
Deal.
A confirmation prompt will appear asking if you wish to proceed, click Yes to
continue. If the Import was successful then a message will be displayed
confirming this.
