When importing data into Procurify for the first time, the data must be imported in a particular order. Please see the sequence listed below, and ensure you follow the import file flow when importing data. If you're a returning user and your Procurify account has existing data, please review the list below for dependent groupings of data. If you are unsure, contact your Customer Success Manager before importing any data.

Import File Flow

Using CSV files or import templates, the following data can be imported to Procurify:

Branch Locations and Departments

1. Locations - Locations keep track of and organize all Locations for your company. Locations must be imported first. This will help you organize the rest of your Procurify data. Read full details here.

2. Shipping Addresses - If any of your locations have multiple shipping addresses, you can import them next. If the Location only has one address, disregard this step. Ensure Locations are imported before importing this template. Read full details here.

3. Departments - After you’ve imported the Locations above, add Departments under each Location. You can add custom Departments and give access to the appropriate users, ensuring every employee only sees what they need to see. Ensure Locations are imported before importing this template.

4. Users - Next, you’ll need to add everyone in your organization that will use Procurify. Read full details here.
