Import requires SKU codeĀ 

The first time the import sees the SKU code it will be inserted into the database

subsequent imports of that SKU code will update the existing SKU in the database


The developers can create multiple importers, one for each of your suppliers - please submit a ticket to support for this request and they will link those urls into the admin to have it show on the redback admin homepage.
