Highlighted below in red: Product names/SKUs that are identical in the CAD/CAM software and in Jobman.
Highlighted below in blue: Product listed as a line item only, because this product name/SKU exists in the CAD/CAM software but not in Jobman.
For product names that match in your CAD/CAM and Jobman software:

- If your products have been set up with labour times, this will also transfer to the quote.

Advanced Option: Use Replace existing materials to replace any current job materials with your imported materials.
Important: The items in the import file must have identical SKUs to the corresponding items in your Jobman catalogue. If some of your items don't match, you will receive an error message as shown below. To fix this, you will need to add or update your catalogue materials with the correct SKU. You can then complete your import.
Once you've completed your import, use Source All to assign your materials. A pop-up will appear for you to choose the source location. For any items requiring a purchase order, there are options to add dates for Order After and/or Required By.
