Customize your export based on warehouse selection, download it, and proceed to the next step.
Import your file either by drag-and-drop or by copying and pasting data into the Paste tab.
Submit your import after the green loading bar appears.
Track the status of your import on the imports page; once processed, your updates are in place.
Be aware that processing may take some time for files with numerous updates; refresh the page as needed to check the status.

The Upload Template

Here is a brief about all the columns you would need in your import file

Field	Definition
country_code	The country for which you've exported. Your available products will be different depending on country selected
id_partner	Your unique partner id that identifies your account and your products
partner_sku	The SKU you assign yourself to each and single one of your product Or The unique sku for each item your catalog
psku_code	This code is generated as soon as you create your own partner_sku. It is a standardized alphanumeric code that will not change. When making subsequent imports you can either use this value or your partner_sku or both
x_sku_child	Applied to Seller SKUs - Whenever you’re creating variants you distinguish between parent and child SKUs. Child one contains the content that applies to that specific variant only - for now this is only the attribute for size.
noon_warehouse_code	The warehouse code created with Noon.
x_noon_title	Product title as listed on noon.
x_noon_brand	Brand name of the product.
current_stock_gross	Current stock quantity available at the warehouse.
current_processing_time	Time required by the seller to process the order
x_stock_status	Internal status indicating if stock is active ,available or not or blocked.
stock_gross	The count of the stock which you want to update against the partner_sku.
processing_time	Time it will take for the stock to be available at Seller Warehouse

Best Practices and Tips

Ensure correct formatting within columns, especially for "Processing_Time".
For smaller updates (less than 500 rows), use the paste feature directly in the import tool.
Save your file in XLSX or CSV format; XLS files are not compatible.
Use Unicode Text encoding when saving your file to ensure compatibility.

- Windows: Select Save As > Save as type > Unicode Text.

- Mac: Select Save As > Format > UTF-16 Unicode Text.

If you have set a default processing time value for your warehouse you do not need to update processing time in this import.
List each item on its own row Each row in your xlsx/CSV file must represent a single product and a warehouse location, such as a mobile, a toy or a T-shirt, etc.
If you need to make only minor changes or additions to the account, you might choose to export a xlsx file from Exports, edit it, then import it back into Imports.
You might find extra columns when you download the sample template, like X_noon_sku, Noon_warehouse_code, etc., those are optional fields and you can learn more about all fields from the help center.

Common Errors

A frequent issue is mismatched Psku_code and Partner SKU, often due to all-numeric SKUs or special characters. This can be resolved by deleting the partner sku column or importing using only the psku_code.
Avoid saving the file post-download; directly pasting the values can prevent issues.

That’s it!
