This streamlined process eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing the risk of errors while saving you time and effort. To assist with this process, fabric provides CSV template files for **Locations**, **Temporary Location Capacity**, and **Scheduled Location Closures**. ## Prerequisites * Ensure that you have **Orders & Inventory Editor** or **Administrator** privileges to fabric Orders. For more information, see the [Role-Based Access Control](/v3/platform/settings/rbac/role-based-access-control-orders-roles) section. ## Importing Locations 1. In the left menu, click **Inventory** > **Locations**. The **Locations** page is displayed. 2. Click **Import**. The **Import CSV file** window is displayed. 3. Select one of the following fields depending on your requirements: * **Locations**: Use this option to import locations that currently do not exist in fabric. * **Scheduled Location Closures**: Use this option to import location schedule updates and changes. * **Temporary Location Capacity**: Use this option to import temporary location capacity updates. You must select the correct field to download its corresponding template. 4. Download the sample template by clicking **template here** at the bottom of the window. 5. Depending on the CSV file you downloaded, review the required and optional columns for the template: * [Locations template](#locations-csv-file-template) for the **location.csv** file. * [Location outages template](#location-outages-csv-file-template) for the **location\_outage.csv** file. * [Location capacity overrides template](#location-capacity-overrides-csv-file-template) for the **location\_capacity\_override.csv** file. 6. In the **Import CSV file** window, do one of the following: * Drag your file to the **drag and drop** field. * Click **Select a File** from your computer and select your CSV file. The file is uploaded displaying the file name and size. 7. (Optional) You can click **Remove** to delete the uploaded file or **Replace** to replace the file. 8. Click **Submit**. The import status can be viewed on the **Inventory** > **Activity Log** page. ### Locations CSV file template Importing locations requires updating the *location.csv* template file. If a field in a column remains blank, it's set to null by the system. Ensure fields don't contain blank spaces, returns, line breaks, or other characters. Not following the format suggested in the template can result in errors when uploading. | Column | Description | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **locationNum** (Required) | Specifies the unique location number. | | **name** (Required) | Specifies the location name. | | **isActive** | Determines if the location is active or inactive for order fulfillment operations.
