Importing Trading Partners in Bulk

You can use the bulk import option when adding five or more trading-partner accounts in Conexiom.

Using Bulk Import

Within the Customers Tab, the import option can be used to add a batch of five or more customers to the portal at once, and is an alternative to adding customers individually. For more information on adding standalone trading partners, click here

Depending on your account setup, this tab may be named "Customers" or "Vendors". Functionality is the same.
