One of the key features of Rx-Inventory is the ability to import your inventory data (from other sources/platforms) into the system. You can use this functionality to migrate existing frame data into Rx-Inventory, mass create new inventory records, or mass update existing inventory items with new information.
Permissions
The relevant permissions for importing frame data can be found in Rx-Hub → Roles → (Specific Role) → Rx-Inventory. Learn more or get a refresher on how our User Roles and Permissions work.

Additional Importing Functionalities

By default, Rx-Inventory imports a record as a Whole frame item, if you want to also include frame parts or miscellaneous items, you have to check the “Import file contains parts/miscellaneous items” flag. This will make “Part Type” a required column. Note that you will need to follow the valid values for part type (misc, front, whole, temple, bridge, side_shield, clip). Also, ensure that there are no blank values for part type in any of the records.
