Within UpKeep, you can maintain your entire inventory so you know exactly where things are. You can also use our barcode scanner for simple and easy access from a mobile device. You can set a minimum quantity for your parts. So when the quantity of a part dips below that minimum, you’ll be able to tell those parts are running low!

If your team already has a record of your parts, you can import them into UpKeep using our CSV template! We can also download our current list of parts, make updates, and re-import the information to update it.

Importing your Parts

Notes

Importing now matches based off the ID COLUMN of your import. If there is no matching ID, a New Part is created. If the ID Matches, then the Part will be updated with data on the spreadsheet.
You can use CSV, XLS, XLSX, TSV or XML Format
- You can also manually enter items to the table manually under import
If you need to Update a Part you need to use the ID Field
You CANNOT create custom fields via Import at this time. The field can only be created on the part manually.
