An item master is the list of products or items existing within Uniware. It defines the product SKU code (which is unique for each item), its name, the product category it belongs to and the tax associated if any.

In Uniware product or SKU creations, please note:

a) You can use only these four special characters that is

DOT (.)

UNDER SCORE ( _ )

DASH (-)

Slash ( / )

b) Character Limit for creating an SKU is minimum 3 to 45 maximum characters all-inclusive (Numerics, alphabets and four special characters) only.

How Do We Update The Item Master?

To Update Item Master, follow the below steps:

1- Go To Tools> Imports> Item Master> Create New and Update existing> Download CSV Format

---

2- Fill the downloaded CSV file with the details of the columns which need to be updated, along with all the Mandatory Columns and the details which were already updated for that product in Uniware.

Note: Rest of the already updated details of the product get blank if you upload the sheet with details in the column which need to be updated and the Mandatory Column details.

For example: If you need to change the GST Tax Type code of your products, you need to Go to Tools> Import> Item Master> Create new and update existing and fill downloaded CSV with below details:

• All Mandatory column in the sheet (the ones with asterisk)

• GST tax type code column with updated details.

• HSN CODES (if while importing the sheet this column is missed, then HSN field will go blank for all the SKUs imported via item master)
