Power Sourcing File Requirements
The first step in power sourcing is preparing the source file you'll upload in Catalog Search. Make sure it meets these requirements:
-
The file format is either tab delimited text or Excel.
-
The file size is no more than 10 megabytes.
-
A header row is included and does not contain special characters.
-
A Vendor Name column is included and does not exceed 100 characters.
-
A Vendor Part Number column is included and does not exceed 50 characters.
-
The file contains no more than 250,000 rows, excluding the header row.
-
Special characters allowed are dashes (-), periods (.), ampersand (&), underscore (_), back (\) and forward (/) slashes.
-
Must include Vendor Name and corresponding Vendor Part # or Manufacturer Name and corresponding Manufacturer Part #.
Please verify that the mapped columns are valid organization names and valid part numbers.
Invalid information may cause your file to fail to load and give an error message.
