This may be a pretty basic questions but I am learning, If I need to edit the stock item safety stock in a warehouse, is there a way to do that in bulk? It would take a very long time to clean up this data if I have to open every single item in item warehouse details and edit them. There has to be a better way! TIA!

View originalUse a data importer to import the information, you’ll need to drop all your stock item codes into an excel sheet and upload them with the data you want to change

The first step is to create an Excel-based Data Provider (Integration→ Profiles → Data Providers). If you have your inventory listing in an Excel table with a “Safety Stock” column, you would upload this into the Data Providers screen (there should be some good documentation on how to do this in the Help Wiki), and then you could build an Import Scenario to load the data into the screen.
Once your data provider is created, you can begin to build your import scenario. In the screenshot below, ignore the top two lines and simply enter the third line (Stock Item Summary - Inventory ID and the Source Field Value which comes from your data provider or Excel spreadsheet). Then you want to make sure that when you build your import scenario that you include a command to “override” your saftey stock settings and then map your safety stock value to the correct field. Always end your import scenario with a “Save” command.
You should find plenty of preconfigured Import scenarios, including the one in the screenshot below that can provide some insight as to how to do this.
If all else fails, I’m sure your Acumatica partner can assist in training you on how to do this. Once you build one or two of these, you’ll get the hang of it and become an importing wizard.
I hope this points you in the correct direction. Good luck.
That is a great explanation. I do wish now that I had the Integration Module. I am not sure if that is something my company would allow me access to or not. Thank you very much for your response, at least now I know what to ask for in the future.
Thank you! I can ask the person who manages our permissions for that ability. I appreciate the info.
